Hubcentric Wheel Spacers
I'm looking for some hubcentric wheel spacers and i am not sure what width to get.
My setup at the moment with my 18" wheels (ET 48, 7.5" Width) means that compared to the OEM setup i had with 16" wheels (ET 53, 7" Width), i am -1.3 MM out each side.
I'm thinking i could just get spacers to make up the 1.3 MM each side or i could get wider.
What width do you all recommend?
What spacers do you all recommend?
PCD is 5X100.
Thanks

Example: ET48 with 10mm of spacer would make the effective wheel offset 38mm.
If you're not getting rubbing issues on the exterior wheel arch lip, forget about it.

In short you can't do it. As spacers make the ET a smaller number, not bigger. You'd have to take material off the inside face of the wheels to do it. Which isn't trivial.
Example: ET48 with 10mm of spacer would make the effective wheel offset 38mm.
If you're not getting rubbing issues on the exterior wheel arch lip, forget about it.
