i have a set of 16x7 wheels with a +50 offset

what size spacer would i need to make it fit in the front with stock suspension?

i searched and the answers are all over the place, from 10mm to 25mm spacers

oh yeah, tires are going to be 215-50-16 all around

Nothing? Anyone?

I have no idea what size spacer would work but in your situation I'd just stack some washers on the lugs till the wheels fit the way I wanted. The washer stack would be the thickness of the spacer required.
You already have the wheels, so a physical exam would be easy and more definitive than a theoretical answer.

been awhile since I was in the Offiical wheel fitment thread on here, but I recall +40 being stock offset on 16x7. so in that regard, yes +10 to stock, +20 to push it out further from the hub.

If I got this right, I learned something from that thread after all. haha

Clokker's method is what I used. I have some enkei bortex rims that I bought but wouldn't fit without a spacer and a fender pull. After getting the right back spacing I just pulled the fender until it all fit right. Mine are 18x8.5 +45 and I ended up with 16mm of spacers up front to make them not hit the springs. The rears got spaced out an inch to get them as flush as the fronts.

to achieve the stock offset which is 16x7 +40 you would need a 10 mm spacer
