Wheel spacer help!!!!!!

Im looking into buying wheel spacers but i have no idea where to start. I have a 06 coupe 6spd. 19 inch rays and 20 inch (9.5x20 10x20) for summer. I wanna get a set of spacers that go with both set of tires. I also have the Eibach pro kit springs that i plan on installing in the near future. What size spacers do i get w/o rubbing issues?

Getting the right size spacers all depends on the offset of the wheels. The rays have a front +30 rear +33 offset, what about that other set?

Whatever spacers you get for the 15/20 set will work fine with the stock rims but bear in mind that the stocks will be more sunken in than the aftermarket ones.

Secondly, depends on your camber, tire size, rolled fenders on what spacers you should get to avoid rubbing...

You need to post tire specs, whether your fenders are rolled or not, and if your even willing to roll your fenders..on the 20 inch set you can probably do a 5-10mm spacer and get away with it..but honestly..until you do your suspension your gonna look mexiflush if you do spacers on the 20s.

OP - I would recommend measuring the distance between your fenders and the tires to see what size you should get.

20(front)/25mm(rear) should work fine with the OEM wheels. Depending on tire and suspension specs you may get away with 25/30mm which will bring you close to a flush look. But, the ruler method never lies.

I wish more people would figure out it would take less time to just go do this simple calculation than posting this silly question on forums.

It's pretty simple but I can see why a lot of people ask for specific sizing, especially when people are new to cars. This is a more thought out approach for those that have experience with wheels/tires.
