Reviving an old thread.
I currently have 10mm spacers with my 343m front wheels. The more and more I look at the car the more I feel that the front wheels stick out more than I like, thus I want a smaller spacer but want to stay hub-centric. I actually tried removing the front spacers all together but because of new brake pads, the wheel will no longer clear the calipers. Urgh
Option 1: Go down to 3mm spacer just to clear the caliper and help the wheel sit a little flush with the fender. The question is, is there enough room on hub lip for the wheel to "safely" be hub centric? I read that the stock lip is 10mm wide, so that leaves 7mm for the wheel.
Option 2: Go down to 5mm spacer, with would definitely allow the tire to be perfectly flush with the fender. For this I would need a hub extender. I couldn't fully understand the posts in this thread, but which of the VAC hub extenders would I need to get, E8x/E9x or E38/E46?
I honestly would prefer option 1 if I can make it work, but would love to hear opinions and experiences if it would even work.
