griffo Member 66 Member For: 16y 5m 13d Gender: Male Posted 01/02/13 06:55 AM Share Posted 01/02/13 06:55 AM Hey Guys, I have a G6E running SSL King springs (STD Shocks) in the front and 20x8.5 rims with a +35 offset wrapped in 245/35/20 tyres.Was hoping to have them match close to how the rears are sitting. as they are a 20x10 with a +38 offset.Are spacers an option? If so, what sizes have people used? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83829-wheel-spacers-g6e/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have posted an ebay link to them in the fg offsets thread. Here is a pic of mine running 25mm all round.

griffo Member 66 Member For: 16y 5m 13d Gender: Male Posted 01/02/13 11:14 PM Author Share Posted 01/02/13 11:14 PM Thanks for the info guys. I don't really want the fronts sitting anymore out than the rears so I think 25mm might be too far.Maybe I might get a few 5mm ones tomorrow and try some trial and error Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83829-wheel-spacers-g6e/#findComment-1357355 Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffo Member 66 Member For: 16y 5m 13d Gender: Male Posted 02/02/13 01:38 AM Author Share Posted 02/02/13 01:38 AM Apparently spacers are cheap from Supercheap/Autobarn... I might go get a few sets and see how I go... Would I be safe running 2x 5mm spacers per wheel to make 10mm?

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 6m 9d Posted 03/02/13 12:32 AM Share Posted 03/02/13 12:32 AM ^^ This and this! I think 7 or 8mm is pushing it without getting longer wheels studs. In saying that I think rule of thumb is around about 6 or 7 full turns of your wheel nut so if you really want go buy 2 5mm put them on and see how many full turns you get out of your wheel nuts. Any less than 6 and I wouldn't go there.Someone correct me if I'm wrong about the number of turns, I've never done it personally just been told by a wheel shop this is what they recommend Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83829-wheel-spacers-g6e/#findComment-1357784 Share on other sites More sharing options...
