Help.... Spacers

I am waiting for my Tein Flex's to come in... I have Volk GT-S and all 4 corners of the car are rolled. I want the wheels to be more flush. 255/275 are the current tire sizes. I dont want to go overboard but a little more flush never hurt anyone What size spacers would be best? I do plan on have a camber kit on the rear btw...

I would wait til you get the camber and the camber alignment, then you'll see how much room you have to work with. If I'm correct, the camber alignment will bring the top of the tire outwards.

You might also want to post some offsets

well its hard to tell you what size because we don't know how low your car is

best thing to do is measure from the wheel out to the fender and use that as a general estimate

I would say 10mm around then you do not have to worry about running to much camber.

Id have to say from the height you mentioned (1-2" more than your picture) 10mm all around would probably be good. you will have a lot of NEG camber though. im thinking in like the 3 range.

Why would you ever run 0 camber?

just get camber kits and you can adjust the camber

but due to the bigger tires you might need to run more camber, sorry gotta pay to play

but dont run 0 camber.. instead run 0 toe
