Default L-Tuned wheels help.

I just got me a 01 l-tuned 2gs a couple month back and i am looking to lower her soon. For now, i am going to rock the l-tuned wheels....and what iam wondering is, what size wheel spacer will i need to push the stock l-tuned wheels out "flush" or at least fitting a lot better than they do now. Thanks for any input or help.

They are OEM OZ wheels and fit pretty flush to me. Neo can chime in.

15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear will make it nice and flush...

Thats too much. The rear sticks out more then the front anyhow as it is.

They probably COULD use another 5M in the front if you want to be really picky.

Oz Salinas are staggered, 18x9.5 in the rear, lower it first and see where you are, I think they look pretty flush without spacers.

In case you are wondering, the specs are 18x8 +45 and 18x9.5 +45. You should lower it to where you want and then see how "flushed" you want to decide on spacers. There is also the issue of shaving the fenders to get even more flushed. If you do that , it will affect the spacer size.

Agreement here

I have these on my car now, lowered on Tein CS, and unless you want to shave you "might" be able to put 5mm on the rear and 15mm in the front. Mine fit pretty flushed in the rear with some gap in the front but there is a whole heck of a lot of fender wheel protection to remove if I want the front flushed. Running spacers you will need to run pretty significant negative camber.
