I recommended 25mm spacers last time you posted as well as on facebook. I had 18x7.5 +52.5 which are pretty much identical to yours (Online Wheel and Tyre Fitment Calculator. Offset, Tyre Stretch and Speedo Error | Will They Fit) with 25mm spacers and didn't rub after rolling my fenders. They were also really flush

What the spacers should look like below. You might be able to run smaller spacer with studs IF theres enough backspace on your wheels

10mm rear....

I would think about how long you go in the rear unless the spacer includes new studs for the hub. Going too big is going to limit your thread.

ah yes, i couldnt find my old post -.- 25mm? i feel like thats a lot tbh. I order some 15mm with the studs. im getting them in tomorrow, so i will install them friday and see if they fit and work, if not ill go with the 25mm.

Yes, i am getting the ones with the added studs, the other ones i do not trust unless i replace my studs, which i dont want to do since its too much of a pain lol

thanks guys for the info.

 

I am running 5mm on the front and 10mm in the back and they look pretty flush to the body.

I posted pictures somewhere on the forum, let me try and dig them up.....

Which 10mm spacers did you use?

 

A buddy of mine is running 10mm in the front and 15mm in the rear on a 3rd gen with the older ms3 wheels. Which I just happen to be inheriting lol (wheels). Can't really tell the difference but they look pretty flush to me. 225/45/18 with the stock 18x7's dropped on eibach pro's won't rub with the above setup. So if anyone wants to play it safe and still achieve the flush look, there ya go! BTW whats up guys, this is my first post on here.

 

Dead thread resurrection!

Anyone running spacers with OEM rims? I'm considering getting the James Barone 5mm spacers for $80.

I'm hoping for a slightly meaner/sportier look.

Open for suggestions.

I have 5mm spacers all around, I had them on my 16" steelies until I got the new wheels but have had no problem for the approximately 7k miles they've been on.

@Cerealkiller 80 bucks seems a lot for some pieces of metal especially at that width - I got stainless ones off Amazon 45 overall without the name tax.

Thanks for the link. I think I'll test them out for that price.

I'm going to pick up some hubcentric rings too.

Thread Resurrection again haha,
I currently have 17x7.5 40 offset, about to lower the car, should I consider 5mm F/10mm R spacers before installing the coil overs? or should I wait to see after I install the Suspension? I've never once ordered spacers so I know ZERO about it, some would say "I don't know S**T about F**K" when it comes to this haha

 

Wait

Do the suspension first. With +40 offset I really wouldn't worry about spacers.
This is 17x7.5 +45 with 205/50s on them. 225s on a +40 will be a bit wider.
