Default how can I flush my rims to rear fenders?

18x7.5 with +45mm offset. I don't think I have a chance. can anybody help me with ideaas?

I really dont want to trash the rear axle, and probably can't afford new rims.

Should I try to stack 3 OTGs? j/k

get a set of 25mm spacers. they have the longer bolts already on them. you thread the spacer where the wheel fits on your car, then your wheel threads onto the spacer. it works. i fit a 17x7 rim flush to the outside.

b-bing! awesome, where would I find them?

these spacers go on the fender side of teh drum as opposed to the inside like the OTG shims, correct?

Does anyone know if I could still run OTG camber with this setup?

Thanks!

I have heard that you can stack OTG shims. you just have to get longer bolts.

Just be aware that you may have to roll your rear fenders with a 20mm rear offset (unless you camber it). I'm running a 20mm offset (no camber) in the rear with 7" rims, 215/45/17's and still rub a little after a lot of fender grinding.

20mm offset, with 7.5" rims may spell serious "rubbage". Not all all cars are the same, but I would say it is a definate risk.
