Default Spacers
Im trying to get some spacers but not sure what is the right one I need. Is there a place where I can try out which spacer size I need?

nope, but u can put the wheel with tire on your car and then take a ruler and measure how many MM u got between tire face and fender. Atleast thats what i did for my rears to be flush

That looks good. Did you install the spacers yourself? If so, how difficult is it?

Thank you. Yes I did the install myself. It is not that difficult. Remove wheels, put on the spacers, tighten the lugs that is included on the 25mm spacers, and put back your wheels.

Yes I thought 25mm would be too big, but i have rear flares so I need some big spacers for the rear right now. I made a mistake by buying wheels first and then doing the flares. Im selling my wheels so I can get bigger set for my rears. .
