just curious to see what is the largest spacer you guys would run.
i have 3 sets of wheels with poor width and offset and have been depending on spacers.

i just picked up some over fenders, and the predicament now is all of those wheels are going to be SUPER SUNK..

right now im pretty flush with 17x8.5 +10, 0 offset. (20mm, 30mm spacer) with the flares in it adds 1-1.5+ inches so i calculated that i need something atleast 17x10 -20 to be where i am now with the flares.. so if i were to get flush with my 17x8.5 id need something like a 60mm spacer O_O

i will end up buying new wheels just sad that i wont be able to use some of my favorite wheels i own on this car :(

so yea, how large of a spacer would you run MAX

I cant wait to see the finish look of this car.
Im pulling for ya buddy. Im pretty sure there is a nice set of wheels out there for what your looking for.
But WOW at least 17x10 -20 thats unheard of for our cars. Good stuff=]

As long as it's bolt on adaptor type it doesn't really matter. 2, 3, and 4" bolton types are common in the offroad or truck community and they are way heavier than our rides.

as long as you run adapters. it wouldn't matter. they were made for it. they wouldn't manufacture 2, 3, 4" adapters if it would just mess up your bearings. shavi you will be surprise if you find out that 20mm adapters are pretty baby compared to the off road guys. my sister is running 2 inch adapters in the front and 3 inch adapters in the rear of her celica. and daily driven for 2 years. just as long as you don't stack spacers rocky. even if you rock stacked 3mm and 5mm spacers, you will notice the wheels become wobbly. and as long as you dont go as crazy as this http://www.wrongfitmentcrew.com/forum/showthread.php?781-can-i-has-poke

so you should be fine rocky. just the thicker adapter you get, of course the more expensive it will be.

I've been running 25mm bolt ons all around on my car with my stock BBS wheels for about a year now with no issues.

I currently run Kics Project 15mm pcd adapters with no issues. I've been on them for 3 months so far.

I have 20mm Ichiba hub-centric spacers on my car and get some mild steering wheel vibes at 70+ mph, but otherwise the car feels great.
