Spacers sizes for front and rear? Help.

Can anyone recommend spacer sizes for the front and rears? I'm kind of looking for the wheels to be very flush with the fenders. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks! Any recommendations on which spacers to buy? I've heard something about newer hubcentric ring spacers?

I like Rogue Engineering, over H&Rs, since they have a bevel on the side of them, making removal very easy, even if it gets stuck on it. Rogue's also come with the lug bolts, which H&R's do not.

Whatever you do, make sure you use a spacer with hubcentric extensions built on them, like either the Rogue or H&R.

I like the H&R they have a anodize or hard cote so they do not corrode. I have never had any issues with getting stuck, even with salt and sand from New England winters. turner also has their own that are a little different and have a step in case they get stuck. but they are not coated.

Rouge Eng. comes with bolts which to me is a big plus! H&R is great also but you have to buy the bolts seperatley.

Will it not rub with passengers with 10mm spacer?

no I'm running 17 x 8.5 with ET 38 and 245s all around so that would be equal to 14mm spacer in the rear and I believe something like a 24mm in the front.

Nice. That is a good size and offset. I plan on getting 17x85 ET40 all around. I think that would be the max you can get away with up front without using a spacer. Maybe ET41 but no more than that.

I can't imagine why you would want to use spacers with stock wheels. :iono:
