wheel spacers recommendation for 2000 S

[bcup1994]

Hey guys, so just got my 2000 S. Running on stock 17" turbo twists
with 205/50/17 front and 255/40/17 rear. Stock suspension.

I like these wheels but would love to push them out a bit for a more aggressive look.

What would be the best spacer sizes for these without causing issues and getting them to the fender edge? 15mm Front, 20 mm Rear?

And also what are the best quality spacers and bolts to get? I want to make sure there are no vibrations or issues.

thank you

Don't get the cheap ones from amazon. I have 20mm all around, and when I went to motorsport hardware to get wheel studs installed, Cecil noticed that my spacers were lipped, and only the very edge of the lip was contacting the hub, so I just got some new spacers from him there while I was there.

I'm on 18 inch turbo twists, and 20mm all around is no problem. Almost wish I went a little more in the front for appearance, but this looks good.

Also- based on my research at the time, the only appropriate wheel bolts were $2-300 for a set. That's why I had studs installed, since it actually ended up being a little cheaper with both parts and labor vs parts alone for new wheel bolts.

I bought 15mm rennline ones for front and rear with the appropriate lugs from ECS tuning. With the sign up discount of $25 the whole kit was $225 shipped if I recall correctly.

Perfect offset for the stock 17 S wheels in my opinion. But I haven’t had them long enough to see if they cause any excess wear.

Are you lowered also or stock ride height? I'm looking at 15Frt/20Rr but would go 20/20 based on your testing. No fender rubbing I'm assuming.

Thanks by chance do you have a link to the studs? assuming they are silver, i see so many black ones.

Lowered on H&R springs. I think there's maybe very slight rubbing at full lock, but my car usually stalls at full lock with the ac on anyway lol

edit: sounds like you could just swap out your back spacers onto your front wheels to test it out if you had any doubts, though

Sorry, I actually don't. The guy who lowered my car recommended me to Cecil at motorsport hardware in huntington beach, and I live pretty close by so I just went over there without asking about the specific product. I'm sure if you give them a call on the phone number on their website (I don't know if I can post that here) that he would sort you out with the right kit. I think they might be black, I'd have to take a look, haven't needed to pull the wheels since I got it installed.

I got mine from ecs tuning. Good quality and came with the correct bolts

This might be the right way to go.. how close are you to the fenders for front and rears?
any vibrations ?

did you get them from rennline?

I got my spacers and studs on Amazon.
a couple dozen track days and no issues at all

I went with 18mm and none on the front. https://www. ecstuning.com/b-ecs-parts/ecs-wheel-spacer-kit-18mm/001366ecs18kt/
I did get 10 new bolts for the front wheels

I'm cheap. I took a chance on these from Aliexpress. The quality is excellent (I've had them on about a year) with one exception: the supplied bolts were too long and had to be cut down a few mm.
