Smile How much spacers do I need?



Looking to get an aggressive stance with these stockers 10-spokes 16in's. Car is lowered on Eibach and tokico. The front rubs when turning, also there is frayed marks on under fender cover.

Rear fenders are cut, maybe I'll just do the rear for now. How much spacers do I need?

I won't be getting new wheels anytime soon cuz I just had new tires on these stockers. Previous owner left me 4 blank tires and I was strapped on cash.

Well i dont think its worth getting spacers for stock rims, unless they're g35's anyways I dont think you have to be flushed on stockers. 50 mm lmao!

start out with a pair of 25mm adapters and then start adding to see where it looks halfway something resembling decent.

As PureDrifter suggested....I say 25mm for the rears....since I assume you're on a budget and cannot afford new wheels right now.

Go with H&R brand.

Good luck.
