Wheel spacers sizing
Those of you that have wheels spacers, what method did you use to figure out what size was needed to fit flush. I have 17' wheels with a 45mm offset and 225/45/17 tires. I know I should probably run 215/50/17 none -the -less I put them on to see what they looked like and they were too sunken in and also rubbed on the strut tower. I have them posted for sale in the wheel forum. I am going to go with some 18" wheels instead and hopefully do a little more homework before my purchase. Any offset or spacer sizing will be gladly appreciated. I know many of you will also recommend a drop but that will have to wait until late summer or early fall.

I've got 15mm hubcentric spacers sitting in my rear due to having the same issue. I had a bunch of universal 5mm spacers that I used to see how much I really need for the wheels to sit flush.

Those are the exact ones I've got. I had my shop pull out my old studs and put in longer studs. Wasn't hard at all . . the spacers go right on the studs.
