wheel spacers for the rear?

doski · #1 27-02-2007, 07:42

does anyone know what would be the biggest size wheel spacers i could fit on the rear with 7 inch width rims? taken the whole units apart on mine and looking to get 25mm spacers like the front but dont know whether it will foul the arch????

Depends soley on the offset of the wheel...

I have 25mm spacers on the rear with 215x35x18 and it's spot on

Yeh but if they're 15 offset wheels for example they are gonna be damn close as it is.

We need to know the offset

Oh yeah forgot to mention they are 38 offset

doski · #6 27-02-2007, 17:35

getting 10mm extra for the rear spacers than you have on the fronts wouldnt be a bad idea

Im going for 15mm on the front and 25mm on the rear. Luckiy i wont be doing too many miles in my s12 from now on so my wheel bearings will last a while. They will be under more stress now due to my crazy track width

I am a little concerned that my car will have that odd tramliney "bobbling" feel if I widen the track too much.. looking at 50mm spacers with s40 BBS crater rims 16x7 ET 43. Unless get some different rims with less offset, but with the current set up, I'll need 50mm to get clear of the spring because of my homemade adjustable bilstien struts! If I go to 2 1/4 springs I'll get plenty of clearance though.. so could theoretically get down to 25mm of spacers..

I suppose I'll have to dig out alan staniforths book again... damn my bad memory... too blummin old...

How does the front end feel with 25mm spacers on each side??
