Default What size spacers?

Hi guys

I have an RD2 with 17x7 rims, 205/40/17 tires, and no drop. I might lower it this summer with Eibachs but it depends on funds first since I just moved into a new place. I would like to get spacers since they're pretty cheap. I dont like how my rim and tires are not flush with the fenders. What size spacers would be good for me to get? And will I need to get longer lug nuts and bolts or can I just use the stock ones I have now?

Thanks for the help.



Oh and one other question. Will spacers put any additional wear and tear on the suspension or turning components or wheel bearings?

Since you already have the wheels and tires, measure the distance on your car. Over about 10mm you'll need longer lug studs, or a design that you bolt on that has it's own studs.

Check the classifieds, I have wheel spacers FS but they aren't cheap ebay sh*t. These are hand made quality parts that won't cause wear and tear on your suspension and drive train components. MSG if your interested.
