    Mount the wheels without spacers and take a measurement from side wall to fender lip. Remove the lug nuts and pull the wheel out to where you like and take the same measurements. Subtract the difference and that should be the spacer you need.


    Keep in mind the thicker you go the less thread you have on the lug nuts... :waytogo:
