Guys I have bad news.


I bought a set of Leon Hardiritt 19 inch 9 and 10 inch rims. I just found out the fronts dont clear the BBK. so I need spacers.

I have ordered 25mm offset but the rims at +24mm anyway This means my front rims will be -1mm offset

This is just crazy isnt it? Will this even fit?

 

Are you sure you need 25mm to clear? I'd say a 15mm spacer would be perfect as far as good fitment. If anything, you can do a slight pull to the front fenders.

 

I dont know how long i need actually. I had it on and it wouldnt sit on the hub properly but its hard to discern whether i needed 15 or 25 mm.

Is there any mathematic calculation I can use?

 

A 15mm spacer should do the trick. Just use a ruler and measure out from where the wheel would sit on the mounting pad to the brake caliper. If that distance is 14mm or less, then a 15mm spacer will work. I recommend going with H&R spacers since they are hubcentric, and if you don't mind changing out the wheels studs. If you don't want to change out the wheels studs, then go with Project KICS spacers. I suggest getting the Project KICS hubcentric adapters as well since the spacers aren't hubcentric like the H&Rs.

 

thats gonna need a nice front fender working.

 

Licelsior. Is this an opinion or knowledge? I need some defintive answers to go forward as i dont want to do anymore than roll my fenders

 

uh 19x9 -1 will need fender pull for sure. A slight fender roll aint gonna cut it

 

how about 19 x 9 +9 if i go to 15mm spacers i mean is this all guess work or has it been done before

 

Well if you dont wanna pull, I guess you can go with like a 215 or 225 tire and roll it flat. If it rubs then camber in a bit more.

20x9.5 +1 up front but fenders are pulled

 

Ah that looks good. Well i can pull my fenders a bit depending how much itll cost to respray them. Also if i go back to stock I dont want it to look funny.

How exactly do you roll a tyre flat. Currently I have 235 up front

 

By rolling, he's talking about rolling the front fenders flat, not the tire.

 

ohh lol oops haha..

Ok so i cut out a cd case and used it as a fake hub and a 15mm spacer should be good. Thanks for the advise above not to get the 25mm.

Now going from the link of the LS430 With low offsets i will roll fenders and stick in an inch or 2 of camber and it should be all good.
