Default Question about wheel spacers

I am currently running 245 X 19 X 35 and I have some rubbing in the front on the inside of the tire. So I wanted to try to get the wheel to come out a little bit so does this mean I need to use wheel spacers? And what size spacers do you recommend to getting the wheel out to stock level. I am unsure what the offset is on my BBS wheels as I can check that tomorrow with the shop.

Default I wonder what your offset is. Tough to make suggestions without that info

Because your BBS are 8.5, you'll need to have an offset of et39 or more (number must be equal to or smaller than 39) to have the same clearance from the inside of the wheel to the strut as the stockers. You're also running wider tires, so you'll need to consider that.

I would suggest that you get whatever spacers are necessary to effectively run your wheels at et32. That seems to be the number that works best with 245s and with stock suspension.

Hope this helps.
