Wheel spacers

[Clemo 37]

Hi all
Does anyone know what the best size wheel spacers fit the standard wheels?
Will they be the same size front and back or different sizes

I don't understand your question: are you expecting inside diameter to differ front to rear? Or do you wonder if the thickness of the spacers should be different front to rear?

Yes sorry, the thickness, will they be the same front and rear

Has anyone else used wheel spacers to push the OEM wheels for a flush look or "poke"? You may be a pioneer.

I've just checked: I have the OEM wheels on right now, with the KIA caps, and standing directly above the caps with the fender opening precisely straight, the KIA caps poke into view the same amount: so, that tells me that whatever sized spacers you go with they should all be the same size. If I were trying for "flush", it looks like maybe 10mm would do it.

Thanks for the info. Just thought it would give it the mean muscle car look because they have big arches and would look so cool if they were flush

Most guys run 20mm front and back but i didnt like the 20mm up front because it was too much poke, so right now i run 20mm out back and nothing up front. Likely going to order 10-15mm for the front in the next week.

12.5mm front
15mm rear
Flush with OEM setup

20mm front and back here, sits nice and flush with stock wheels.

^^^^Well, so much for, "you may be a pioneer". But "flush" is apparently in the eyes of the beholder, because there is a significant difference in 12.5mm and 20mm.

I ran 20mm all around and it looked amazing especially with the car lowered. I'd say its slight poke, not flush. If you decide to go with 20mm, let me know. I have a set for sale. They're the NGT ones from Khartunerz.

edit: I see you're not in the US, so international shipping may be prohibitive. But we can see

This is true, I actually measured to the fender though ..

i second this. Looks the best when lowered as well. Got my 20mm spacers from H&R which my lowering springs are also H&R. Dont cheap out on spacers. Buy a pair from a reputable brand, NOT AMAZON!

What happens to handling when wheels are pushed out? Additional wheel bearing wear?

3.3TT - 15mm spacers or 20mm spacers? (Stock 19" wheels)

I'm thinking about adding hubcentric spacers to my car and I'm considering either 15mm or 20mm. Does anyone know if 15mm spacers will fit with the stock 19" wheels? I heard that 20mm spacers fit for sure. BONOSS has 15mm and 20mm while GarageLine has only 20mm, both are high quality.

There is no "best" with cosmetics - just opinions - Which colour is best? I like the white, but I ended up with my 2nd choice.

20MM is the only spacers that work with OE wheels Without getting longer studs.

Say what now?

You talking about non hubcentric spacers that use the OEM studs to clamp the spacer between the wheel and the hub?

The well behind the wheel is not deep enough for the oe studs that stick thru the spacer. The ones that use oe studs are hub centric if they fit tight to hub and have hub lip.

I did not measure with any degree of accuracy, but it appeared to my eye that my '18 stinger wheels had enough pocket to accomodate 15mm spacers.

I used 20mm spacers so it easily fit.

Eibach may be being a little conservative with their safety margin - better safe than sorry.
