Default NEED HELP ASAP. Pictures Provided.

I just got my 16x8 rota pdcs. they are +35 offset. I was test fitting the back wheel and it has very little clearance like maybe a mm away from the beam. Will the 10mm OTG shim take care of this/ Does anyone run these without the shim. If they do, how??

I had planned on putting on the OTG 10mm shims, and -3 camber shims, so I'm guessing now would be a good time to do that. I was going to wait until I got coilovers..

I wouldn't run camber on a +35. Your tires will most likely rub your shocks. The spacer s will improve what you have now, but to run camber I'd suggest 20mm spacers. OTG has minimum offset requirements listed on their site.

This is from their site..... help me translate. It says.... 8.0"

36mm or more you will need to run the camber.shim combo?? I will be running a 205/50/16 Falker 512.... Thanks for the help.

According to that, you will be safe by 1mm. But keep in mind, all tires are a little different. Better to be safe than sorry. Also, if your wheels aren't out far enough before camber, you will be way sunken in after. A +17 F and +10 R sit flush without camber on a 8" wide rim, so to avoid unsightly overlap with camber, it's nice to be past that. I would say with your offset, a 10mm spacer, and -3 camber, you are probably going to have 1.5" or better overlap. Meaning gap between fender and tire. So I would try a 20 or 25 mm spacer. IMHO.
