Default Need Wheel Spacer HELP!!

Im in the process to do my front TT brakes and need some spacers to clear my current wheels. Where would I measure to see what spacer size I need? I dont want my wheel to hang out that much, just enough to clear the calipers. Im thinking a 10mm but want to see what you guys think cause I have no experience with this.

I have some 18" VS-XX that measure 18x8 up front with +38 offsets. One more thing, what manufacter/spacer is good? ICHIBA V1? ICHIBA V2? HR? And whats the difference between the V1 compared to the V2's?

If i were you id get a set of ARP studs and 20 MM spacers, but it again all depends on your tire and your fender roll.

as long as you get a hub centric with ARP studs you will be fine. the ICHIBA studs DO NOT work in our cars.

I had 20mm Ichiba v2 spacers before. It worked out well for me. V2s have the studs built into spacers. Takes 10 min to install.

Was this installed on your front or rear? If front, did you use a set on the rears and what size?

the bolt on ichiba spacers work just fine. but the smallest is a 15mm. if you use the slide on 10mm spacers then its really suggested that you press in a longer stud. use the ARP studs from the IS300 part number. the studs that you get from ichiba are crap and sometimes the spline section wont press in right. and well the ARP studs are obviously the superior product.

I installed the spacers on the front. I didn't use spacers for the rear. The spacers were used for Supra tt wheels.
