Default Spacers/sunk/flush/stance

1/23/13 edit
So its been awhile since i looked back at this.
Two questions i had.
Is this spacer info still relevant (or anybody selling theres)
Im torn between a few new tire sizes for these rims
235/40-18
245-45-18
245/40-18
235-45/18

I want as close to flush as possible but its if it was just under that would be fine. all those tires are about the same in price as well online.




So im thinking about spacers for my box. my rims are 18x7 if you have pictures of your ride. flush/stanced ( i think those are the terms) post them. also who makes spacers for the xb2 (or if someone is sellign theres....)

You have to make sure the back side of your wheels are designed to accommodate the OEM lugs & nuts when the spacers are bolted on.

I believe EMAN44 still has a new pair of 15mm version II available for $120 shipped.

You also have PM FroZone.

10mm is just under and inch of more or less poke 25 being more and 15 being less. You need to do a little more homework on your wheels before you start buying spacers. Your offset it the distance that the face of the wheel is off center of the barrel of the wheel.

Umm... no.

10mm = .3937" (just under 1/2")

This will clearly explain offset:

just measure how far your wheels are from the fender and buy spacers accordingly

With those rims you probably need 15mm in the front and 25mm in the rear to bring them near flush with the fenders. Depending on what tires you are running.

With 235/40-18 tires on TRD springs, you'll rub up front with anything more than a 5mm spacer. Just skip it up front, and don't worry about trying to flush out the wheels, unless you're ready to buy new tires. Just pick up EMAN's 15mm Ichiba V2 rear spacers and be done with it. That will get your rear tires & wheels to match the fronts, even though they'll be tucked a little bit.

Sorry to thread jack but will the OEM wheel studs still be useable with a 10mm spacer or would you need to get extended studs?

I installed some 10mm slip on spacers a little while ago. They actually came with the extended studs. And yes, you would need them.

Very true.. If you want to go flush be prepared to put down some money for tires pretty often and forget about every driving your car fast again because one slip up can cause serious damage.
