I have a set of 17 x 7.5 with 45mm offset and want to push them out flush to the fender. What size wheel spacers can I get that will accomplish this? My 2007 mcs is lowered with eibach springs.

Bump.......

 

Measure from the tire to the fender...

 

15 mm all the way around on my jcw 17s. I run h&r and they look great

 

Double post

 

I lowered my car with Eibach multi-pro R1 coils and 12 mm rubs with the standard 17x7 crown spokes.

 

Just what I was about to say. Be conservative in your measurement or you'll be pulling out the dremmel tool.

 

My 17x7.5 et38s sit pretty nice with the fender... so thats 7mm

Id vote 8-10mm (whatever exists). I used to be on H&R springs, and now coils... no rubbing here.

I used this: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

If I use 15mm on my JCW wheels (17x7 et48) to make it flush and your wheels will stick out 9mm father than mine, it looks like flush would be done with a 6mm spacer or whatever is closest.

Mine with 15mm:

 

Does anybody knows secundary problems in r56 with 15mm wheel spacers ?

 

should I plan on a little shaving with the dremel, maybe a little....???

 

What is the effect on the geometry ?

 

You'll need to add some lower camber links to the rear.

I run 7.5 x 17 with 235 (yes) 40/17 andlowered 2". I use 12.5 spacer in front to clear brakes (JCW) and nothing in rear. No problems, handles great, no rubbing and looks truly BADASS.

I would love to see what it looks like, I was wondering about doing the same thing.
Any possibility of posting a photo?
TIA

For comparison

 

I just installed 25MM up front on my 2007 R56 with no problem, the fuller look is by no means obvious , it looks just right I will post a photo

 

What's the setup there?

 

set up: Sock suspension, stock mags, 25MM spacers with long lugs up front . I have not done the math , but I guess spacers all the way around is equal to a lower suspension and slighter squarer wheel base while still maintaining some road clearance?

 

15mm spacers on all four wheels, stock conical spokes (et 45 I believe), coilovers.

 

Cool, thanks. Looks perfect, in my opinion

 

So can anyone tell me how to post script & pictures. I'm an old non-computor man that would love to show you my modded JCW. I know how to reply to posts but don't know the obverse. C'mon, there's got to some geek dork that can help me out. Please?

Thanks.

The conical spoke et is actually 48....I had it wrong above.

 

Do you have any rubbing issues?

 

The wheel application guide will help with offset figures, and here are several options for different thickness spacers. If this doesn't help, please ask!
