    Hi guys I have never used wheel spacers and wondering what size to get?

    its an 04 gtp and my summer setup is 20" msrs with 245/35/20 tires i believe. I don't know the hub bore of the rims but I do know that I didn't need to use hub centric rings when they were installed. They are also 5x114.3 pattern.

    My question is how big can I go on the spacers ( i seem to have a ton of room on the lugs when I tighten them no spacers) and what size hub? Also should the spacers be 5x115 or 5x114.3 with my rim setup?

    thanks

    More info on the rims.

    20x???

    Offset??

    You might only get a few MM if you are really close to rubbing, then more fender rolling would be needed.

    rims are 20.7.5 +35 offset i think

    I bet i could get away with 8 mm spacers all around with no problem but that seems pointless just for 8mm on each side

    you'd need longer studs with anything over 10mm and a lot of people just do it to be safe at anything over 5mm spacers.

    i wouldn't even bother with spacers. if you want a lower offset/wider wheel then order a set..

    7.5 is gonna look kinda skinny for a 20" wheel especially when its spaced out more. But its hard to tell how many threads you have left. I thought I had plenty of space for a 10mm but when I actually got them on i couldn't even get the nut past 1 or 2 turns. And longer studs were a pain to change out, I had to take the whole rear hub assembly off and for my car it was rusted on pretty good
