I bought these rims after being mislead on the bolt pattern. They are actually 5 x 112, so I see that some guys around here run spacers. Do you guys think that they will look alright with a 1" adapter/ spacer on a stock suspension? Oh, they are 18x8

Any feedback is appreciated.

 

Depends on their offset.They look pretty good in the trunk though

 

i like.. wish i had some[8D]

 

I run 20mm spacers in the rear, and theres 2.2 cm to an inch, so thats roughly the same. I have an offset of 35, and that puts the face of my rim 1mm outside the fender, so theres a chance you'll be good in the rear. Good luck in the front though, dunno what you'd do there.

 

Do you think that they will stick out in the front too much and cause a problem... or just look out of place? I'm not really sure on the offset because I bought them used. I guess all I can do is try, I got 5 rims and 4 tires for 200 bucks, so if it doesnt work out... Its not the biggest loss.

My question is, you guys running spacers... Is that only in the rear?

 

or you could go measure the offset.

 

^ depends.

it allllll depends. try the offset calculator in the faq in the tt section. umm what'd id do is research that specific TSW rim and find the specs on it before you go out and buy some spacers. i'm ASSUMING that the offset is between 35mm - 40mm and width is 7.5". play around with the calculator to find your spec. stance.

besides, i'd drop the car before you get spacers. rims + stock ride height = hideous


edit: there's always bolt pattern adapters you can get. alot of V Dubs bolt on mercedes, corvette, porsche rims. try looking around for 5x112 to 5x100 adapters, on the plus side adapters work like spacers too. hitting 2 birds with 1 stone rite thurr.

 

with a ET 35 rim, I run 12mm spacers up front, and 20mm in the rear, which puts my fronts 1mm inside the fender, and my rears, like I said, 1mm outside. This is for a quattro car, the FWD tracks differently.

Only actual issue i could imagine with big spacers up front is the wheel contacting the inner fender liner at full turn. Other than that, it might look a little funny with the front wheels sticking out of the fenders.

 

I'm running 25 rear and 20 front on 18x8 w/ 35 offset.

Sorry, all the pics I have recently tend to be low quality cell phone pics.

Coworker asked me the other day if I widened my car. Said it looked mean.

 

^ it will once you throw your suspension on[&:]
