Spacers Question[S] Pics Available
#1
As i was installing my rear type s aspec..i was wondering i want my wheels to look flushed with my fenders.. i dont want no crazy Poke...just a good flush look please...but at the same time i have a few questions..
1.) when adding spacers i dont have to do any extended bolt mods to it?..it just bolts on?
2.) i notice i have a small camber going on...adding spacers will increase the camber degree?...i will in the future get a camber kit..i want my camber to be 0 or near 0 as much as possible
3.) i notice before the camber on the bottom of the wheel where it touches the ground.. its nearly lined up at the fender shown in picture 1... so if i get a camber kit will my wheels be flushed with the fender? or will i still need spacers?..
and my wheels specs are near factory specs..im sitting on 19x8 the offset is 45
Picture One..
Picture two..
Picture Three..
crap forgot to put...what size spacer do u think i should get?..

for a good flush look, get 25mm rear and 20mm front. might want to roll your fenders while you're at it.
ichiba v2/akata, either one is fine. they bolt right up. no other modifications needed.
spacers will have no effect on camber.

^yeah i wouldn't attempt to DIY. try and find a reputable shop in your area...should cost less than $150 for all 4 corners and it will greatly decrease your chance of rubbing after you get the flush look.

Holy weak offset! I think he'll need more than 25mm to get flush in the front or rear. 25mm is only an inch and that front wheel is sunk in way more than an inch. Not sure getting flush will be possible with your wheels' offset with the ride height you're at.

I thought OP posted a while back that those wheels were 7.5" wide
Also, good luck being lowered and running 0 camber, even with new camber arms.

in that case, do 30mm rear (if they even make them) and 25mm front.

Also, have you had an alignment to see how much camber you have. That is "IF" your getting a camber kit to correct your camber, then you wont need as big a spacer to get the flush look.
If you leave your camber were its at then you need a 25-30mm spacer.
I would get 20-25mm spacer then correct camber as needed. Kinda nervous going with any larger of a spacer.

Correct the camber and then measure.

i havnt had an alignment yet...so i dont know the camber degree..i only had my Tein's Basis on for about 3 weeks..its settled in pretty good aligment soon after i get all these spacer and stuff done to it...
i think ill get 20/25mm spacers... im pretty sure the outcome would be better than what i have now...
