Default Need your help

So, i'm planning on ordering some wheel spacers within the next week. I need some input from other members of this board.

i'm currently dropped on espelir springs on stock shocks. eventually, i plan on purchasing koni yellow adjustable shocks to go w/ my setup, since i don't really have serious intentions with tracking my car (maybe later after i hit 100k+, lol).

ANYWAYS...

i have 10mm t1r rear differential spacers that i did for my drop to safely not wear out my inner cvbuckets.

i have a friend with 25mm wheel spacers front and back, but he's not running 10mm diff spacers like i am and he's sitting perfectly flushed.

question is...

since i have 10mm rear diff spacers, would a 15mm rear wheel spacer compensate, while the fronts are 25mm? will it be the same or should i order the same size all the way around?

i'm afraid that if i order 25mm all the way around with my 10mm rear diffs, the rears are going to sit too far out.

so as you can see, i'm in a situation here. help a brothah out.

The shaft spacer has nothing to do with the hub / knuckle. It only compensates for the axle and CV joint spacing due to the car being lowered.

Do a quick search. There is a ton of threads about what size spacers you need in order to make the stock wheels sit flush with the fenders.

One warning though...these types of spaces are extremely heavy and can weaken the studs.

NP. One more thing....These spacers will most likely require you to roll your fenders (especially if you want them "flush"). I have a fender roller that you can borrow but it would be hard to get it down there and back....if you ever come up this way though we can do it.
