Wheel Spacer Question

I have a 2004 sedan and I am putting on the stock sport 18 sedan wheels from a 2005 model. I was wondering what size spacer I would need for a aggressive look. The tire size is 245/40/18. Pictures would be awesome help as well. thanks.

not sure what the offset is for the stock 18's, my track wheels are 18x8 +30 and 18x8.5 +33mm, and that brings be pretty much flush. Not sure what your idea of agressive means. some mean flush and some mean a little on the low rider side.

find out your offset on the 18's and then try to aim for +33 to 35.

like say stock 17's are +45, you would want about a 10/15/20mm spacer to bring it flush. If you want a semi staggered look go with 10mm fronts and 20mm rears.

I assume stock 18's are near +45. so 10mm fronts and 20mm rears.

"18" 5 split spoke (2005+ Sedan optional)
Front & Rear: 18"x7.5" (+45mm)"

Are you sure on those tire sizes? The 05 sport sedan wheels came with 235 45 18's.

I would recommand doing 15mm front and 20mm rear. Alot of customers with sedan applications have bought this size.

I have the Ichiba v2 spacers in stock. They are a direct bolt on. Takes 1-2 days to your door. $230.00 shipped for 2 sets. Let me know.

Here is a link where you can check them out.

Right now I am running 245 40 18's on my oem sport rims and 20mm spacers all around. Fronts are PERFECT, back passenger rubs like crazy on the fender lip. Be prepared to roll the fenders on 20mm + in the rear. BTW I'm lowered on Z suspension as well.

Sedan sport wheels with 20mm spacers all around and 245/40/18. That's my old setup.

the stock tire side is 235/45/18 but im going with 245/40/18.

and i will definately keep those spacers in mind.

i think i like the way the 20mm looks all the way around.
