Offset For FD to FC?

I have some 3rd gen 7 wheels with some 225/50/16 Toyo Proxes and I was wondering what size hubcentric spacers I should buy to get them fit nicely. I don't want them like sticking out the side of the car though. Also anyone know a good place to buy some? Originally I was going to have a friend make me some in his machine shop, but nobody could come up with some specs to work on, so i'm going to just buy some, then duplicate them and sell em' for cheap.

Based on what is in the fine print in that writeup...I would want to push the rims out a bit further (for tire clearence).

That is why 99% of the folks who have done this (including me in the past) used the 25mm spacer. That spacer allowed me to run 245's in the back (and I even heard of floks running wider).

If you will use the 25mm - make sure its a hubcentric model. Either H&R or Corksport would be ideal.

Go browse the Susp. forum. There are about 3 good threads in there on topic the spacers, all on the first several pages.
