Default Need spacers, but don't know what size...

Hey Guys,

I need some spacers for the car, but I don't know what size to get. I have 18x10 and 18x9 Blitz Type 03's in Supra fitment and now that I dropped the car, it appears as though the front wheels are sitting way in. I really don't like the way it looks. Here's a couple of pics. Please let me know what you think, Thanks!!

Get a tape measurer and measure how much more you want the wheel to stick further out. And go purchase that size spacer and smile at the flushness

^ agreed it looks pretty sunk just get a ruler and straight edge on the fender to give you a basis on what you want.

for what year Supra were they intended to fit? My stock TT's dont sink in that much. But like Vincent said, get a ruler and measure. I think the wheels look good, but who told you they were for Supra fitment?

Running spacers that thick would not be safe. Looks like you need at least 25mm to make it flush.

At that width or more spacers usually have their own studs in them for mounting the wheel on and people have run those with no problems

I'm running a 25mm on my rear's with no issues. Just make sure the bolts are torqued down properly to your hub

if you knew what offset the rims were I could give you an idea of what would fit.

Yea I actually forgot about those stacking spacers from them. They are the first company I know of to offer that on spacers with their own studs.

looks like you need 25mm spacers. I would contact Nigel with JDM imports. He is a vendor
on this forum. He sells V2 ichiba spacers which have their own studs. Typically they go for
$125 shipped for a pair. You can of course check out the wheel and tires classifieds on CL
for used ones. Make sure to get an alignment after you install spacers.
