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?

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.
