Do I need spacers??

First off, I did a quick search and didn't find anything.. and i'm at work so i can't spend too much time on it, but i need an answer by tonight..

I am checking out a set of MB Weapon 18x8 on 235/45 with an offset of +35. I am wondering if I would need spacers for these? Camber kit? I don't know much about tires, and need to figure it out before I go pick these up..

Thanks in advance for the help guys!

well, that all depends.

you don't "need" spacers with those wheel specs, but if you're going for the flush look...then yes, grab some spacers. 15mm out back and 10mm up front would work nice...

is your TL 6mt? AT? type-s?

I have a base AT TL. I'm not going for flush, just want to make sure that they'll fit no problems

I agree with Sharky...your good to go....

am running 18x8.5 42 offset with 234's all around and am almost slammed....no rubbing no fender work done....

I am sitting very flush but thinking of 10mm in the rear....but since you are 18x8, you wont go wrong with 15mm in the rear and 10mm upfront...

I dont know specs on the wheels mentioned, but my biggest piece of advice is to make sure that the bolt pattern is 5x114.3mm

The battles are nice, I preferred the EKM3 over both MB mentioned, but personal preference. The only reason I'm picking up the MB Weapons is because the price is unbeatable for the whole set and brand new tires...

Guys, when I was looking at spacers for my Type S, I could not find hubcentric spacers in the 10mm size. So Jakob, you might need 15mm on the front and 20mm on the back. Hubcentric's start at 15mm, and you want hubcentric spacers.

I could be wrong, but that was my experience.

I had the same spec... no spacers needed will fit perfectly.

FIC makes 10mm bolt on spacers that are hub centric... but not sure TL specific.. But you could get a custom hub centric rings that will work with FIC spacers.
