currently running 8mm (f) and 12mm (r) with my S-Line 18s.

putting on my new OZ Ultraleggeras 19x8 et35 soon. ultimately, i'd like to push the tires/wheels out as close to the edge without rubbing.

from what i can gather, because these are 8" width, the 8mm might work up front, but not sure about the 12mm for the rear.

any thoughts? thx.

Maybe in the the back, MAYBE.

Here's mine without any spacers.

I wanted some protection :)

Even if I had 235s, I wouldn't want anything more than maybe a 5mm spacer up front, any more and it would be sticking out. The 12mm in the back might work though.

Do you have clear corner headlamps? It appears so on the pics. If so, where can I get my hands on some. Thx.

... I don't think it would take nearly as long to do it the second time around.

And the aesthetic improvement to the front end is well worth the effort.
