You need about 55mm spacer.

Doesn't help that there is no info.

You'll need to post your wheel and tire specs if you want any meaningful responses.

Sorry to threadjack, but I am looking into spacers myself and do not know much about them. I have 19in G35 wheels on 245/40 in the back dropped on df210s. I would like to space out my rears a bit more without having to do too much fender mods. TIA.

If all four wheels are the same and the rear just looks a bit sunken you would probably need about 10-12mm spacer in the rear. since that isn't enough to be able to get bolt on spacers you will probably have to get some extended wheel studs before using slip on spacers. this is what I'm doing to my car to even it out. I'm running IS300 ARP extended studs and Novustech 10mm hub centric slip on spacers.

If the wheels rub you'll need to get a fender roller or use some other rolling technique like baseball bat or pipe method like I usually do.

do you mean flushing wheel lip to fender?

if so, seems like your already beyond flush (assuming no modification to fenders)...why the need for spacers?

i never heard anyone flushing tires to fenders...lol.

I have a pdf showing how to measure for spacers at work. It's not rocket science, just requires a little measuring and thinking
