I have spoken to different people and recieved different answers on this.

I am ordering my wheels tomorrow morning. They are 16x7, 4x100, with a +40 offset. I am getting my KSPORT coilovers installed at the same time, and I am going to set them really low with a 45 or 50 series tire.

I've heard a lot about the fact I am going to need spacers, I just dont know much about offset. So I'm looking to ya'll for some help. THANKS MUCH in advance!!

16x7/40 offset *should* fit just fine. No spacers.

Depends on tire size also. My 215/45-17 Falkens only have 1/8~3/16 gap to the swing arm. Thats with 42 offset, you have an additional 2mm of clearance back there. Imagine the spokes staying put. Lower the offset #, the further out the rim's edge goes.

You might want 10mm rear spacers to flush out the rears to the fronts.

 

SO just rear 10mm? A guy locally has them for sale, so would it be worth my money to get them just in case??

 

The rims themselves *should* fit.

The spacers are only if you rub or want to push the rear tires/rims outward further to be flush with the fronts. I *think* you will not need them for rubbing, but only for looks.

Get OTG hub spacers, not wheel spacers if you decide to get some. The hub spacers push the entire hub out, no need for longer studs. Wheel spacers go between the rims and hub and need longer studs for anything over 5mm.

What size tires? That makes a difference also.

Good luck.

 

I ordered 205/45/16's. Also, I found out the wheels are 16x7 with a +42, not +40.

 

They *should* still fit fine w/o spacers. Should.

Trial fit the rims w/o tires first. Check for clearance to the rear swingarm and front brake calipers especially. My 17x7's cleared fine, it was the tires that are close to the swingarm. Your tire choice is .2 narrower inside and outside and a lot smaller diameter than mine.

My front spokes are real close to the calipers, but if its clear, its clear.
