Default Playing around with spacers...

so i got a few spacers to play around with, and was testfitting sizes on my rear rim..

i think i found my dream offset! too bad i don't have long studs yet.. and might need a smaller tire.. but here it is!

p.s. don't mind the high front, it was just jacked up and hasn't settled down yet

BEEFY!

So what's the width/offset of the current set up, and what's the final offset with the spacers? Looks unbelievable right there!

Looks perfect. Looks like you won't even be able to fit a credit card through there. Now that's what I call flush. Damn Johnny... now you got me thinking. Are you gonna put 235s on there?

Run a 235 and a little pull and you should be fine. I'm running +22 with 235's and have about 3-5mm more room.
