Default How to measure for H&R hubcentric wheel spacers?

I need me some help in measuring for some hubcentric spacers. I'm rolling on some Work VARIANZA T1-S.

19X8.5 +45
19X9.5 +45

After getting lowered on some Eibach springs the wheels look way tucked in!

I'm sold on the H&R's and just need to know which size I need to order to make it look sick. Anybody got any ideas on size?


thanks!

tie a small weight on a ~12inch string and blue tape it to the fender. measure distance from rim to fender. buy the spacer size thats closest. tape to the inside for no rubbing and tape to the outside for FLUSH. i personally like the slight stretch and poke look. ohh and POST PICS! AND dont forget you have to buy extended lugs, and watch out for conical or ball seat.

I would get the 10mm spacers. That would give you an effective offset of 35mm, this is pretty aggressive if you are lowered and don't want way stretched tires. If you are into the stretched look, which to me looks kinda dumb, then maybe you can get away with 15mm, but it will be close.
We would know better if you told us us what size tires you planned on running.

With those tires, you can go 15mm front, 10mm rear.

What would be the lowest offset for this set-up?

Stock height Lux Pkg - no drop
front (stock) 18X8 with 225/40/18
Rear 18X9 (maybe 9.5) with 275/35/18
Again no drop!

there aren't really any cons - just make sure you don't go too wide or else you will rub up front...

10mm front will be close to flush. Use 15mm and your tires will stick out and might cause some rubbing isuues..

Okay, I've decided I want spacers now... What size spacers would give me a flush look w/ out doing any fender modifications.

I'm running:

19x8.5 +36 w/ Toyo 235/35
19x9.5 +41 w/ Toyo 275/30


Thanks!
