I did a quick search and couldn't find any solid answers.

My question is what spacers thickness sizes will I need to flush out my Factory 225TT 17" 5 spoke wheels?
Is it 15mm front and 20mm back? or 20mm front and 25 back? Somebody please help.

Also Best place to get the wheels spacers from?
What length studs to buy, and where?

Thanks Guys

what does this do why are you doing it?

BIGDROCH

It Pushes the wheels out to be flush with the side of the body instead of inset. Much Cleaner look.

schwing has this somewhere in his fotki

TTempted

people usually do 15 front, 20 back

25 is dangerous... wheels bolt to spacers bolt to hub

Tell me more about this "25mm Dangerous" thing.... A little more detail please.

I went with 8mm and 15mm.

It was a little conservative, but it was exactly what I was looking for.


Sorry, I don't have pics of it with the stock wheels on, but these show almost exactly where the stock wheels sat:

It adds even more stress than a normal 20mm spacer would with long lugs. Generally speaking, 20mm is the safe alternative just because of that factor. I'm no expert, I've just been warned about it before.

on the bolts, stress on the wheel bearings, change in turn circle, etc. All safety issues.

To say nothing about getting paint chips from stones from tires being too far outboard.

But go ahead and look good if you think having wheels flush to the outside of the fender openings is looking good. It is your life...
