santanawhite Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yup, NLM has these exclusively made. Check the link on my original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tybee260 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Trying to figure out how big of a spacer I will need...2"? How big is too big? ( not safe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santanawhite Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Depends on your suspension and flare setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tybee260 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I am on stock suspension with cut springs at the moment (coilovers in a few months) and i will be cutting fenders and mounting the flares once i get the wheels/tires in my possession so they fit right.

ComicArtist Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I looked into doing these back when I was into 17"s. With enough camber and a properly stretched tire they'll tuck, but you wouldn't be able to go very low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santanawhite Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm not sure if ill be stretching the tires. Maybe a slight stretch with a 255 or 265 but I'd rather use bamf flares and fill them in nicely with a decent tire and a proper spacer. Tybe260 Cant say for sure but most likely anything less than a 1inch spacer will not work. The 2 inch spacer probably will with your stock suspension. In that case you'll need longer bolts. I'm not to sure of safety though. Theres lots of pros and cons using spacers but depends on what ur comfortable with I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tx1021 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yeah I was thinking about a 2" or 1.5" up front and a 1.5" out back. But, I'm gonna wait till wheels and flares are here to make sure the measurements are perfect. As far as safety with spacers, kind of a counter-intuitive statement right there, I think I'm going to try a solution similar to this THREAD.

thehelix112 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 does that mean you got the 17x10 ones? can't wait to see how they look. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tx1021 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I ended up going with 17x10 for the rear and 17x9 for the fronts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tx1021 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Unfortunately it will probably be a little while before I've got tires and flares. But, here they are just mocked up for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tybee260 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Awesome! Looks good so far! Be sure to post when you get your spacer/tire/ flare combo dialed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tybee260 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Did you get a chance to slap some tires on those badboys? I want to see if they will fit or come close before I order mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luseboy Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) I've always really wanted 15's for my car... but I really like these and I keep worrying about whether or not the 15's I want will clear the brakes I want. I am planning on doing ZG flares though and I don't particularly want to run a huge spacer. In the picture you posted, do you have any spacers on? It looks like that would work great with a 1 inch spacer and ZG's. That is assuming there is no spacer there... I think anything over a 1.5" spacer is a little sketch... but I could just be naive. Anyways these are the coolest 17's I've seen that aren't a ridiculous price. I may end up going for these too, depending on how much spacer they need.

I haven't ordered spacers yet, so in the pictures they are just mocked up against the studs. You might be able to get away with a 1.25" in the rear and 1.5" up front if you're running coilovers. That would give around 5.1" and 4.9" backspacing respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
