jim Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Apologies, i know its been done to death and i did search but i am struggling and was hoping for some advice. I've recently had my wheels refurbed and rebuilt, i swapped the front faces to the rears to give a more aggressive offset and I'm happy enough about that, and planned on using spacers to bring the fronts out. The fronts are very weak, they're 8j with an et57 (lol) and i need to order some hubcentric spacers. I don't want to roll the arches but would like the wheels to be as flush as possible. Long story short, what offset should i be aiming for? 25mm spacer would bring me down to et32 but i suspect this wont be enough. Do i aim for et27 with a 30mm spacer, or even et22 with a 35mm spacer? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassan Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Aim for et27. But i wont run spacers i would rather buy some better offset wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Here are my wheels, they are Rota Torque Drifts Front 9.5 J ET30 235/40/18 Rear 9.5 J ET30 255/35/18 The rears could maybe stick out a touch more to be completely flush, but I flatly refuse to run spacers The all clear perfectly with no scrubbing even on full lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 To get the same look as josh you would need a 46mm spacer. I'd fit a 35mm one though, that will be flush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morzy2k5 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Just remember that if your car is lowered you will get natural negative camber due to going lower than stock ride height.i have 19x9.5 et 35 on the rear of my supra and they are sat in the arch about 3mm,I have rolled mine though.i am going to get 25mm spacers and pull my arcehee slightly as I would rather have the poked look than flush/sat in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jza800 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 how about the front? and do you have uk brakes on?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morzy2k5 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I have a staggered set up.i have 19x8.5 on the front et30.i only run jspec brakes though.but there is a good 20-25mm between the front calipers. All depends on the wheel design/spoke style i suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morzy2k5 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Unlike josh I have zero arch gap you see. And with me going low on the coilovers I had to roll my rear arches and put flat bolts in the front arch liners due to the tyre rubbing the normal 10mm bolts lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I've now lowered my car on coilovers and have no arch gap to the top of the wheel. With my setup all the wheels sit flush but I didn't have to roll my arches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morzy2k5 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 This is mine for example,close up pics.....if anything my tyres are in the arches slightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
