To calculate offset with spacers just subtract the spacer size to the offset. Say if you had +10 offset and you put a 5mm spacer then your offset would technically be +5 now. Remember that offset and spacers are by millimeters.
That one simple explanation, demystified much of fitment for me.
Yes, I was told last night that over 25mm may not be safe. Anyone agree? Disagree?
It's hard to find them over 25mm actually.
I think powered by max makes some nice spacers, they beat Ichiba prices on eBay too. Basically their spacers are the kind you can mix together to get all sorts of combinations, but I think that's only if you have extended studs or need to use the 30mm spacer they have with extended studs.
going out on a limb here but have you thought about buying new lips and/or barrelys and making the wheels exactly the size and offset you would like? if you buy a smaller barrell and larger lips you can get a lower offset and still keep it 9.5 in the rear or even bring it up to a 10. Idk just a thought.
EDIT: Im stupid and missed a part in the beginning. haha carry on with your spacers. lol
I rand 20mm spacers on my previous car, i paid just under $300 for my adaptors from adaptec speedware. They can make you some quality custom made spacers/adaptors.

That's what I've heard as well. I had 30mm Ichiba spacers but I never put them on because I figured it wouldn't be too safe.
I've never seen any spacer over the 30mm ones I had. I've seen companies that made custom spacers but I don't know the name of the one I found. A search through Google may help. I'll see if I can find the link I had on my other computer.
When you slam it it will sink in. That guy with the supra wheels lowered only looks flush cuz of the tire profile. If he ran a low pro he would be nowhere near flush.
I have a 17 with 40 offset. Maybe ill put it on to show you what I mean
Much appreciated toobs but no need to go through the hassle. I'll take your word for it.
I know you know this stuff like you know Orcinus orca, and Mermads. LOL!
From the look currently, 25mm should look ok right? Even the guys selling them advised against super thick ones.
