Spacer for front wheels
I have a car that has a turbo body kit. What is the approximate spacer size fill in the wheel well with a 205/60 r 17 tire? I have a one inch spacer already, but it needs to fill out a little more. I want to make sure I get the right size.
Thanks, John |

I would first consider having a different profile tire. 205x60x17 appears to tall to me. You should be able to put a better/lower/wider ratio in there, something like a 235x45x17. The 205x60x17 is 678mm overall diameter the 235x45x17 is 643mm and almost an inch wider. Also need to consider the wheels backspacing; ultimately the location of the rubber patch can be adjusted with the spacer you are referring to. How wide are your wheels and what is the backspacing?

I am sorry I didn't make myself clear. The wheel size is for the front wheel well. The rears are 235/60 r17 with spacer, and they fit well. The front need to fill out more. I have one in spacer for the front and 1.75 inches in the rear.
Thanks, John |
