Question on spacers
 
Hi,

i'm little confused what spacers i should get. i have 17*8 +35 (225/45 tires) front and 17*9+40 (255/40 tires) rear. it looks ok but the wheels could be moved a bit outside. the excel sheet on the sticky says +31 offset on front/rear is what i should get to maintain the recommended space. that would be 4mm spacers in front / 9mm in rear. I didn't find a picture of such a setup so i don't know how it looks like.
on the other hand i like those 2 setups:

"Work Meister S1 17x9 +10 and 17x10 +19
235/4017 and 255/4017
Fenders are rolled all around and dropped on Stance GR coilovers."

"Advan RG2 17x10 , 17 x 9.5. + 20 rear and + 25 front. 255's all around"

pretty much the same. with such a setup i would need 24/25mm front spacers and 31/32mm rear right? Do i always have to roll the fenders or does this depend on right heigt?

i also read that 7mm slot on spacers is the maximum for the stock wheelhub. And my rims have 2 bolt circles so if i go with bolt ons i need at least 25mm, so that the bolts of the wheel hub fully disappear. else my rims won't fit. so i could either change the wheelhub (which is said to be a pain in the a..) or i take 4mm front/7mm rear or bolt ons with additional fender rolling.

what would you advice?

you could use these

They have special locking nuts and studs attached and come in all kinds of sizes.

I think he was looking for suggestion on what size spacers.

I think you may want to look into different wheels. If you want to achieve the look of those car up there you may want to get spacers in the 15-20mm range and IMO that's to big.

thx for the link, but getting spacers isnt a problem. the problem is that my wheels dont have free space where the oem bolts sit if i take bolt on spacers with less than 25mm. and i dont want to cut them :|.

getting other wheels is no option because i already have them and will get them refurbished next week.
