need some advice
Friday, April 30, 2010 5:38 PM
alright heres the situation i bought a pair of 18x8 Motegi Racing MR056 nankang ats sport 225/40/18 got them on and noticed they were a little tight to the strut, ended up rubbing a little got the car home and took the wheels of and started trying out an offset using washers to see what i could do, its slightly over a quarter inch spacer at the moment and the wheel sticks out of the fender and there is still very little space between the tire and the strut. is there anyway to fix this rather then down size my wheels? to 17x7.5 waited 3 weeks for the to arrive and dont to wait much longer, i guess it would help to list what im running tien basics on a 03 cavalier, im justing kind of scratching my head right now the wheels look so amazing on there i dont want to give them up

spacers for the strut clearance... and then get your fenders rolled and pulled? look into some toyota cavalier front fenders.

did some work and raised the suspension to accomidate the width, added about 10mm spacer and it all seems pretty good going to get some spacers made today hopefully

I think bigfoot is blurry,
that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.

i got it figured out by using washers for the time being till the spacers show up, i figure its about 10 to 15mm in the front and about 20 to 25 in the back, back needs to come out some more but other than that, i have enough clearance between the strut...Im running tein basics, ill try and get some pictures up in the next couple days show ya what im working with

Here you go

wheel spacers

They have pretty much anything you could need.

Have you checked local shops? Normally they carry spacers also.
