Default Need help with spacers

I want spacers so the wheels are flush with the fenders but I don't know the measurements.

If you do a search on sc430 forum, you should find many threads about wheel spacers.

The link below is just one of the many.

25mm front and 35mm rear, it worked for me. Bunch of pics can be found on several threads on spacers.

I use 15mm front and 30mm rear. Good set-up with stock wheels and lowered suspension.

I have the Ichiba 20mm F and 30mm R. Looks much better than stock.

As long as they are hub centric and your wheel balancing is done right, I didn't have any vibration when I put 10mm to 25mm spacers to my old SSR wheels.
I don't recommend 10mm spacers that are generally not the bolt on type. Just pull the rear fenders and put 15mm and up wheel spacers.

Come on, you need new wheels for your new aero kit. lol
