Default what size spacers, opinion please!!!

hey everyone so i have been looking for spacers and finally found a place, what size does everyone recomed with my combo. i have 20x10 on the back with 275/30/20, it right now sits in the wheelwell pretty good compared to the front, i am thinking 20mm i am just scared it will be too much, they are niche venice wheels, 4 inch chrome lip. i want them flush with the top of fender but fender but just not to stick out too much. thanks

well the size of a spacer depends on the offset of the wheel.. most people just like their wheesl to be at least flush with the body of the car.. any farther inside and it looks like crap.. if you put it out a little past the body it gives it a "wide-body" look.. i like that but its all a matter of opinion.. id say just measure out how for you want your wheel to go, that way ur not guessing what will look good.. i have a 19X9.5 in the back with a 35mm offset and put 1 1/4" wheel adapters on and its perfectly flush with the body. it looks amazing in my opinion.. good luck!

what size tires do you run with that 19x9.5?, are your tires even with the outside of the fender at the top or the inside where the fender dips back in at the bottom, also how far do they stick out on the bottom of the fenders any measurements? also isn't 1 1/4 like 30mm? correct me if im wrong, thats off the top of my head, prolly wrong, if so thats huge, so depending on what size tires you have they must stick out pretty good. any pics? thanks

no opinions needed...measure from the current outside edge of your tire to where they'd be flush with the fender...buy spacer to match

i have measured and i believe i am gonna go with 20mm, just trying to get an idea of what to expect i can sort of see it in my head, but would rather see what it looks like for sure, i don't know weather to go 15mm or 20mm but thinking 20. i measure 20mm for the outside of the tire to be flush with the top of the fender i just want to see how far the tires will stick out at the bottom of the fenders.

sorry no pics right now.. its in the shop getting my lambo hinges put on.. when I get it back ill take pics for u if its not too late.. maybe monday? my spacers are I believe 33mm.. they are even with the top of the fender.. that looks the best. its better to go out too far then not far enough.. and make sure the rear is at least as wide or wider than the front or it looks retarded.. that was the problem with mine.
