Wheel Spacers

[Dylpicklee]

I just bought some new rims and tire and wanted to grab some spacers to make them flush.

I tried measuring for the spacers but i got two different measurements for the front and rear.

Are they suppose to be different?

I'm running 18x7.5 rims with a 42mm offset and have 215/35/18 on them.

any help would be great!

Have you dug through the wheel and tire section? I know there is a wheel/tire fitment thread that everyone has posted their specs. Wheel and Tire Discussion - Chevy Sonic Owners Forum

I have but didn't find anything useful.

Eric Smit has info and pics of his wheels with and without spacers in the sticky threads. If you really want to go the easy route, opticon is the guru on wheels and offset just shoot him a PM and maybe he will help you out.

the pictures are in my build thread too. there in a multitude of places.

Ive posted up a few photos recently when I put on my spacers.

Have you tried messing with this calculator yet?

Wheel Offset Calculator - The Ultimate Stance Calculator | Jonathan Rowny

The fender distance to hub is approximately 85mm on both sides.

It's fairly helpful.

For reference:

Preloader's car on 18x7.5 +42 with 215/40 tires.

Is your car lowered at all?
In terms of outer poke, you should have about the same amount of room on both sides unless you have some negative camber in the front from lowering.

I don't know if you have already seen this or not, but look into this thread as well:

Hope that helps! Let us know if you need more help with figuring it out.
