So I'm not much of a tire guy, but i lowered my tC with Hotchkis springs (1.7" in the front and 1.9" in the back) and im running aftermarket rims but are the same size as stock (17x7 with same offset) I want to get a really aggressive look and I figured that spacers was the more economical route.
How large of spacers do you all think I can get without major rubbing? I'm also willing to get my fenders rolled if need be. But just need to know a good size of spacers.

p.s. - I also don't want something too big to where it'll damage my suspension over time. (This is still my daily driver)

what are the offset of the wheels?....

YES, if you want fender flush or more...MUST roll Rear Fenders...& do some trimming too.

 

my offest is 45 just like stock right now. and i have seen this graph before but im not sure what its telling me. im really seeing what would be best for my car. im thinking +15 in the rear but idk if thats too small or should i go +20. or +5 or +10 in the front...i dont want to get the wrong spacers and just waste the money

 

Aight...this is my current set-up.

Also on TEIN Basic coilovers Maxed Out w/ 1 perch removed...I have close to a 3" drop.

18x8 wheels w/ a 35 offset. I added 15mm Ichiba V2 Spacers which makes it 20 Offset wheel now. I am running a 215/40/18 tire, I am Fender Flush on the front & aboout 5mm from Fender Flush in the Rear.

I had to roll the rear fenders & trim a lot of the plastic inner part of the rear bumper...I also used a file to file some metal on the front wheel well.

For some cool awesome reason I dont rub when normal driving...only rub when i hit a bump in the road.

 

I was running 18x9.5 +35 with no fender mods at all and on Hotchkis springs. No spacers either.

If you plan on leaving the stock tire size on the wheels you have, then you may have to roll your fenders. I can almost guarantee it will rub if it's flush.

This really isn't something I'd recommend cheaping out on. You could end up costing yourself a lot of money with damaged fenders and possible problems with the spacers (if you get cheap ones). Not to mention since you're on springs, the car will still have a lot of suspension travel (compared to coilovers) further increasing your risk of damaging something.

Also, spacing 7" wide wheels with fat tires probably won't look good. Just my $.02.

 

im on teins h 1.9 f and 1.7 rear..im on stock wheels.....i got ichiba v2 bolt on spacers...25mm rear and 20mm front...perfectly extends the wheels just enough to make it flush with the fenders,it actually looks good,

 

@my06tc do you have a couple pictures i can see?

 

let me see if i can get some pics

 

have yall heard of XXR wheels? i cant seem to find any good reviews on them

 

hey man srry it took so long....couldnt get any pics...theres some pics in my profile just to get the basic idea..you can compare stock width to my width..
