Spacers for my wheels. Need highest offset possible

EBRSKIH · 09-07-2011, 03:50 PM

I have the 20 inch M6 style wheels with ET35 for the front and the back.

20x8.5 and 20x9.5

The rear is nice and flush its just the front that needs spacers. Whats the LOWEST offset I can go with, without any issues?

Thanks fellas

Really guys...any input is welcome. Its mainly for my front wheels

Vinfast · 09-13-2011, 12:33 PM

I put 10mm on my fronts with the same wheels, and I think it looks perfect. I have some pics on my initial thread when I first got the car back in January.

EBRSKIH · 09-16-2011, 12:23 PM

Wow man looks so much better with the spacers. You left the rear without any spacers right? What brand spacers did you go with?

remmib · 09-16-2011, 02:35 PM

I guess you mean lowest offset possible.

Here's a F10 with 19" wheels and spacers, take a look.

The spacers made the front look so much better being flush with the fender. I didn't need any spacers on the back. I went with H&R, but make sure they fit flush with the bore of the wheel you're putting on your car.

That's exactly why I ask... Is h

rmastale · 09-16-2011, 08:18 PM

That's exactly why I ask. Are H and R guaranteed to be flush with bore? I'm running coilovers as well so I'm worried even with fender will bring rub... Guess I should just consult my shop if anything... But the spacing right now is bugging me!

They're supposed to fit, but they didn't. You're right, the spacing bothered me too, and I had to fix it quick. Just buy them from someone who will let you check for fitment and return them if need be --- or you can do like me --- just take them to a machine shop and make them fit or you could even have them custom made.

Vinfast · 09-20-2011, 09:01 PM

I have an update on my spacer situation. The machine shop couldn't grind down the spacers for fitment. I went back to my tire shop to look for more options. The 10mm H&Rs didn't fit the bore of my wheels, so we tried 12mm H&Rs and they fit perfect. Easy fix, and they look GREAT!! I'll post pics when I can clean my car.

what about bigger spacers?

EBRSKIH · 09-21-2011, 08:59 AM

Didnt you have pictures up with the 10mm? Is there any vibrations or rubbing issues with the 12mm?

Vinfast · 09-21-2011, 11:30 AM

Yes, I did on another thread. With the 12mm, it looks even better -- no vibrations or rubbing --- PERFECT!

Nice, so now you're at ET23, right?

Vinfast · 09-22-2011, 08:04 PM

yes, you're right!

jaekeem · 09-23-2011, 03:35 AM

I have 18mm spacers on the front and 10mm on the rears.

20x8.5 et32 and 20x9.5 et35

So the final offset for me is et14 front and et25 rear.

No rubbing at all for me and I'm lowered quite a bit.

Btw those wheels look great on your car!

Vinfast · 09-23-2011, 08:43 AM

Wow, I had no idea that you could go that wide with the front with no rubbing -- good
to know.

jaekeem · 09-23-2011, 12:11 PM

The spacers I'm using are called Macht Schnell which I got from EAS. They are a perfect fit, and have two notches where you can put a flathead screwdriver to remove it from the rotor.
