I dont know the exact reading mate, I set it up with a spirit level (to get both sides equal) and how it looked. I have coilover rear suspension set for track use so is very firm, I am planning on rolling my rear arches as Im on a quest for moar low although I dont need to with my current set up. Maybe the 202 and 205 rear suspension setups are quite different, Im not sure. The tops of my rims are flush with the outer arch and I can get 1 finger between the top of the tyre and the arch. The bottom of the strut is only 3mm from the rear cv boot so I darent go any lower on this setup
Im at a 2litre turbo shoot-out tomorrow so will hopefully get some good pics and will post them up for approval.
Hope this helps mate.

Guys do some math for me, I have 17x7.5 offset30 all around
No need to be hella flush, just more flush...
Please provide 2 data for the rear if possible:
Roll fender & No Roll
Thanks!

VC you will need 15mm on the front and 30 at the back. These are both for roll. I guess if you dont want to roll buy like 10 and 25?

Okay 6gc, i have a serious dilemma.
My 15mm bolt on spacers need some serious work on the wheels to get it to work. At the moment they are at the tyre shop waiting for monday to get the back to get shaved abit so the stud and nut that sticks out of the spacer wont get in the way.
Shaving the back in futher would cost like $145 which is basically what the spacers cost. And then i will need shorter studs for the hub.
I was thinking this will be all over if i ran 20mm spacers at the fronts. Cause the nut and stud wont be sticking out.
But that would make my fronts 17x8 +15. I dont know if that is too much poke.

marco has 18x8 +15 front and rear, and it looks amazing. but with that aggressive of an offset your 225/45 tires are too wide. with any poke you want a stretched tire, at least 215/45 or 215/40.

May 28, 2010 - 1:39 PM
^ Thanks for that. Marcos running 225 anyway and it looks decent. Either way going to purchase 20mm tomorrow, and hopefully solves all my problems and then pick up rims back from the wheel shop on monday. Alll that running around today in town all for nothing!

So my wheel is 7.5" and 45mm offset. the chart says +15mm front and -2mm rear, does that mean I need 30mm spacers on front and 47mm rear?? I'm just trying to understand, I'm not sure I'm doing the math right. That seems a little big

Ok I have question.. Someone might asked this before but my only access to 6gc is thru my phone and I can't serch to much from here cause is slow.. Ok my question is... I want my rear wheels to look flush! I have 18x7.5 35 offset and I already rolled my fenders... The chart says I have to get 37mm sapcers? That's = to 1.5 inches spacers.. Is that right? And I would need to get the camber bolts?

What size are your wheels? diameter, width, offset

right now i have some 7.5 widths on there, but i plan on buying some new ones towards the end of the year. i want some rims with a 2-4 inch lip i like the look just not sure how that applies to the dimension of the rim.

You just need to find out the offset & width of the rim you want and use the chart to do the math for spacers Like me for example, I have a 7.5" wide wheel with a +45mm offset. According to the chart, I need a +15mm in the front, and -2mm in the rear, which means I'll need a 30mm spacer up front and a 47mm in the rear (which is crazy, that's too big)

so do we use hub centric spacers or the lugs spacers?
i have 17x7.5 35mm offset...
option with roll or not?

Nah. The fenders are wider in the back so you need more offset in the rear. Proper offset for 7.5" wide is +15mm front, -2mm rear
chacha
Sep 23, 2010 - 11:58 PM
thanks...so i would ask for a -2mm rear hub cent spacer and +15mm hub cent spacer.

Nononononono! That would do nothing lol
Your wheels are +35mm offset, all 4. So fronts need a 20mm spacer to bring it down to +15mm and rears need a 37mm spacer to bring it down to -2mm. Get it? It took me a while too lol

You only need stretched tires for hellaflush. You can get a great looking and aggressive functional flush look, but you'll still need to roll the rear fenders. The fronts are already rolled.

Ok so i think that i may have this,
with my 7th gen gts wheels they have an offset of + 38 i believe, so a 16 mm spacer up front, and a 33mm spacer in the back and i would be flush correct? running 205 series tires

Nov 16, 2010 - 4:36 PM
Damn, 7th gen wheels are 8"?! Didn't know that. But yeah, you'd be flush as a toilet.
Sorry for the pun.
Edit: I did some research and 7th gen wheels are 6.5", from what I found.

8 inch wide your looking at 215 225
If your putting 205 over 8 you will be stretching it

this is a one man job if ya use your logic a little. This is when you are tightening the studs so that are seated into the hub. Installed my wheel spacers and they look awesome

the cars dirty right now and so are the rims. I'm going to wax it next Saturday maybe, and if not I'll just take some pictures since its supposed to rain this Saturday. The wheels don't look like wow but they look good. It's probably better if you check em out in person one of these weekends
