Ideal Spacer Width For the Rear?
My wheels are 15x6.5" ET +38
My tires are 205/50R15 I am sitting on NF210 springs These are the spacers I want to get. They're available from 10mm-25mm through MicroImage. Would 10mm be enough for the rear without rubbing, or should I go for 15mm? TIA

depending on your suspension you may rub with the +38mm offset.
a 7" +25mm rear is a pretty good look with some camber and coilovers though. :) I think the 15mm would be too much though. although you should look into hubspacers instead of "wheel" spacers. |

Thanks for your help!

The spacers that I linked to are hubcentric BTW.

hubcentric and hubspacer are two different things.
hubspacer mounts between the hub and the axle spacing the hub 10mm (therefore also the wheel). a wheel spacer (hubcentric or not) will space out the wheel only. how are you doing on space between the tire and the fender at full compression? with our setup at +25mm it's very close to hitting the fender and it does on a rare occasion depending on the severity of the bump. |

the key is under compression.
fill up your trunk/backseat with fat friends/family and measure away. :) |

So yeah... I think 10mm is definitely as close as I want to get. 15 mm would end up rubbing for sure. Thanks again for your help guys! On to find hubspacers...

I can't find those hubspacers for the life of me, I think Evolved Concepts might have went out of business because their website doesn't work for me anymore. I personally prefer the hub spacers over the H&R spacers, IMO the hub spacers seem a little easier to install since you don't have to deal with longer studs.

a 48mm might fit but i doubt a 51mm would. even a 45mm to a 48mm. it isn't alot when you're in the appropriate range but once you're on the outside edge or inside edge of the range 3mm can mean the difference between rubbing and fitting perfect. |

Yup... Same here. I tried eBay, but there's either Ichiba or H&R wheel spacers. Nothing comes up for the term "hubspacers".
