so this might be a dumb question. but the lower the drop, the smaller the spacer for a decent flush look. right? so if i just get my car dropped even more and adjust camber and alignment. itll look more flushed right?

Flush is your offset man (flush with fenders), dropped is your height, and camber is...well your camber. So to answer your question, to look "more flush" you will need spacers or wider wheels.

yea but i keep hearing that if your car is DROPPED. you wont need as large of a spacer as you would if you werent. to get more flush i have an image on my head as to what i mean but i cant explain it.

flush is not offset, flush is the result of having a low disk offset and suspension droppage. all those factors you mentioned are keys to being flush.

Like i said it doesnt matter what spacers you get to get the look you want, but its important to get the right spacer (w/hubcentric) to have your car safe to drive.

Ideal drivable offset??? I'd say +10front and +5rear
I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island

im still rocking my 65 $ ebay spacers...I had them milled down 8mm because of excessive rubbing but now my new suspension can adjust camber smile.gif! I don't dare do a top speed run with the car possibly near 400hp I fear I might lose a wheel even though it has no play/vibration etc what do you guys think??

Red123, I have the same wheel size and am considering a 25mm spacer at every corner.

Neon...I think...if they're not hubcentric...you should replace them.

I have 225's all around; 17 x 7's. I believe I have a 42 offset and I'm running 10mm spacers in the rear and 5mm in the front. I'm not even dropped and I rub whenever I hit decent dips in the road. I rolled the rear quarters myself so it doesn't rub as bad. With the front though, I reinstalled my engine and transmission under panels and it rubs on those when I turn.

Yeah, i was just getting at the fact i cant run stretched tires on a 17x7 because i dont want to go smaller than a 205. Should've worded it better, i don't like the balloon tire look.

Cant wait for my next set of wheels, 17x8 +32.

ichiba version 1 hub centric wheel spacers. The studs aren't high quality but they will do the job. I say this because the threading on the ichiba goes all the way too the end. As to where the arp and oem studs don't thread all the way to the end. This is only an advantage if your removing the hub centric wheel spacers with the extended studs to another car so you don't damage the threading. I've had this happen to me before because I didnt use a nut on the end to create a large flat surface.

Hey Bobzai.
I got R17 +35 offset wheels on my celica.
Which spacers would you recommend me to fit it perfect?
Can you post the link where can I buy it?

Thanks in advance.
