Default Need help with spacers

Hey ladies and gents,

just like the tittle says, I need to know what size spacers I need to push my wheels flush the the fenders. I am completely clueless as I have never use them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

depends on the offset of the wheel you are using. Without that, you can't go any further.

OR

get a ruler/tapemeasure and measure from the wheel to the fender and estimate from there.

Thanks. I am of the country now but when I get back, I'll get the offset for you.

Thumbs down

I highly recommend AGAINST spacers. Unless you go top dollar and get hubcentric spacers (must be 10mm+ thick), you WILL end up with vibrations... it's not fun, trust me.
