Hi there,well a friend of mine just bought a set of wheels but we don`t know the right spacers the car need to be fitted any suggestion will be much appreciated, informations below:

The wheels are 5X130
Fronts are: 8.5J18-52
Rear are: 9.5J18-52
and the tires are: 225X40ZR18 & 265X35ZR18

P>S. In mm please
Thanks

What car did they come off - what car are they going on?

the -52 suggest they may be later model wheels - the 18" and larger tires suggest that too - 225 and 265 will be a impossibility on a pre 1978 without carrera fenders and a challenge on a later car.

well, say a 35-37 ET works on the front - 52-33 = 19mm (33-37) is a about optimal for a 1985 carrera - so 3/4 inch front

10-18 ET works in the back - so 52-10 = 42mm or 1.65 inch on the rear should do you.

Keep in mind that many sanctioning bodies will not let you run with spacers that large on a car for such things as DE.

It's early - anybody want to confirm my calculations.
