    Widened MM wheel pics thread

    I'd like to see all widened wheels in this one place. Please list any details you can. How wide, spacer size (if any), and what size tire you are running. Also mention if your car has been lowered and how much.

    I think I'm going this route next year. If this has been covered in one thread administration please delete.

    Also I'd like to know what is the widest we can go without adding spacers in the rear?

    Marty. That's my plan. I cant find an aftermarket wheel I'd like to put on my car

    9.5" is the widest you can go without a spacer , and even then some have to use a spacer depending on their ride height.

    So if you go to 10" would a 1/2" spacer be needed?

    While adding spacers, would longer studs be needed?

    When I ran a 10" wide wheel in the rear yes a 1/2" spacer was added along with Moroso studs to work with the 1/2" spacers.

    A 1/4" spacer (or less) does not require longer studs , anything thicker than 1/4" will require longer studs , or a bolt on hub centric spacer which is what I ran on the 18x11" wheel.

    1.5 inches or as Motown mentioned, you'll need a spacer if 10" wide or wider

    +1.5 rear
    Nitto NT555's
    255/45/18 Fronts
    295/45/18 Rears

    I don't see how anyone can stuff any more rubber without spacers. Great combo and the 255/45 and 295/45 almost perfectly emulate the overall height/diameter/circumference of the original equipment 235/50 and 245/55 so the stance stays the same, and ABS and TC don't skip a beat.
    I eat apples until my stomach feels much more full than its normal.
