Ok well I don't have 2k+ to drop on wheels right now. I had a set of 3-Piece Riverside Zivell wheels laying around and threw them on the SC.

They have a 40 or 41 offset so of course they're a bit sunken on the rear.

I haven't done the measuring yet but I'm looking at some H&R Spacers. I've browsed the forums and some people say they're safe and some stay away

I do a lot of highway and city driving...

So far im looking at

It says it comes with the studs, bolts and all the hardware...

What do you guys think?

Going to need 27mm in front and 40mm in the rear to be "Flush" or close to it.


I would go for +25mm in the rear bringing it to a +16 in the rear.
And a 10-15mm on the front to equal the sunken-ness on the front, that would bring it to a +12 - +17 offset.


Unless its safe to put a spacer on a spacer, then I would do the full 27mm and 40mm if possible



Remember... this isnt 100% accurate... Just from what I have seen.

share the width of the wheels and the width of the tires to give us a better basis for offering advice.

The wheels specs are 18 x 7.5 with a 41+ offset

The tires are 245/40/18

Those are for a FWD car.

You should get rid of them

Whoever sold you those pulled your leg really really bad

I actually bought them for a camry, but ended up selling it a little after I got the rims. I had them laying in the garage so i figured why not throw them on the SC.

So no leg pulling involved. lol.

I basically want to know if those type spacers are what I need to get and how safe they are.

well, a lot of people have pulled off 25mm spacers with no problems, so H&R stuff is safe.

if anything, the 25mm set is just a bolt-on item and you can take them off if you don't like it or it "feels" uncomfortable. the 15 and even the 5mm ones require you to take out the studs and put in the extended ones, which can get spendy if you need to take off the calipers and all that jazz

Well from what I'm reading about this model is they come with NEW studs but it also bolts on to your existing studs.

Assuming your fenders are rolled and you are dropped with about -1* camber up front, you can go to about +25 with a 245 tire and not rub.

Assuming your fenders are rolled and you are dropped with about -1.5* camber, you can go to about +15 with a 245 tire and not rub.

If your fenders are not rolled and your car is not dropped, I do not have a basis for measurement since 99.99% of the cars pushing the envelope on wheel fitment are slammed with mild fender work done.

If you need a fender roller, I have one. Feel free to PM me and I can let you borrow it.

Otherwise, I would trust any spacer that is hubcentric with longer studs like the H&R product. The wheel will sit on the spaced hub just as it would on the actual hub.

The lug bolts will be under additional shear stress from the additional distance of the wheel being away from the end of the lug bolt, but if the bolts could not handle it, H&R would not be allowed to sell their spacers to the public.

As for the wheels, they are definitely in sedan fitment: you know that. If I were you, just looking for a temporary solution, I would space the rears 15mm and call it a day until you get new wheels. It will balance out the stance of the car better than it is currently...although true staggered fitment is the way to go in the long run.

Thanks for the info blizzy.

Yea its only temp until I get the right amount of cash for the wheels i do want.

I'll be dropping the car soon but it wont be more than an inch.
