Default wheel spacers question..

sorry for the laziness, suppose i can go out there and measure it myself but if someone knows the answer please just let me know...



i have some lowering spring for my car. which has stock 17s on them for now until next summer. i was thinking about lowering it and leaving the 17s on but i dont like the factory offset bc it looks like the wheels are way under the fenders in the rear.

im thinking of putting spacers on with the stock 17s. what do you guys think? and whats the max spacer thickness should i use?

anyone with pics would help too. thanks

with stock 18s you can go 15mm front and 20mm rear. so id say at least that with the 17's

i heard you can do +25 in the rear
the front looks okay but +15 or +20 wont hurt it
you can buy them in the classified selling forum, i say a good(your definition of good) will run you about 100

just curious how does the ichiba bolt onto the factory studs? do you have to alter anything or does it just directly bolt onto the hub and wheel tighten onto spacer?


also on my stock 17s there are cavities for the stock studs but with a thinner spacer for when i decide to get aftermarket wheels will i have to get shorter studs?

Ichiba V2 Spacers come with bolts so all you will need to do is get a 17mm socket and a wrench to tighten them onto your OEM studs.
