Wheel spacer size? Offset? Confused? Use my offset / spacer calculator!

shifTT · 05-24-2005, 11:53 PM

I've created a wheel spacer / offset calculator to help you figure out what size spacers to use with a given wheel. You can find it here.

meem I hope you don't mind me linking to your pic. Any comments, suggestions, error corrections welcome. Hope you find it useful.

adjusted my personal preferences a bit such that i now like 8.5ET22 front, 8.5ET16 rear -- and ET20 front is probably actually flush though it will rub a bit if lowered aggressively (whereas ET25 is more safe). so maybe we can revise things just a bit? i'm happy to revise my original post a bit to avoid confusion.

let me know how you want to proceed.

I thought it would be helpful to have a photo to go with the numbers. I can link the page to your post above with your new preference. Do you have a photo that shows these new offsets?
