Help with spacers
Hi all I have a 2011 AWD is250 and Im trying to get my fender to sit in between the lip and tire. Does anyone know what the offset for this will be? I have 18x9.5 +30. I was thinking of getting 5mm spacers for both front and rear to get what I want. Would the 5mm spacer be enough or is that too much poke? If I can't get it to sit between the tire and lip I would like it to poke just a bit. Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you and have a wonderful memorial weekend!

It would honestly depend on how the tire and wheel sit on your car.
I have always used a drop weight (small weight on a string) taped onto the fender and just measured with a ruler. That has always gotten me in the right ballpark with spacers.
Make sure you also have enough threads to avoid issues.
