Default Very Specific Question

Just ordered rims should be in on Wed. My set-up will be 18x7.5 40 offset rim. With 215/35 R18 Tires. I'm lowered with Tein S-Tech springs. I want the rear wheels to be at the same flushness with the front.

Question: Will I need spacers, and what size if so? What does OTG stand for?

Thanks

-Chris

P.S. I searched, didn't come across any specifics topics that had all the wheel specs i was looking for.

By "More Big" you mean a larger width spacer? I like the idea of placing it behind the hub. Are there larger spacers that go behind the hub?

i used the 20mm OTG hub spacers and its perfect.
the size of your rims don't realy matter when you are trying to get them to match the front unless to go with a stagerd set up.

You don't NEED spacers, but you should use em... looks a lot better.

Questioned answered already, but yes there are larger spacers that can go behind the hub.

And by "Big" I was talking to Greenguyshrek, thats his nickname
