Default 18 x 9.5 w/+58mm - What size spacer?

I have a set of 18 x 9.5 wheels with a +58mm offset (although they were labeled as +56). I know it has to be under +56. What size spacer makes the most sense for me to throw on there?

Gracias Amigos.

i dont hink you would need to run a spacer, unless you just wanted to push the wheel out a little bit more for looks.

Really? I'm only thinking I need a spacer because of the All You Need to Know About Wheels Sticky. It said that you can fit a 9.5" on with a +34 to +56 mm offset. If I don't then that's even better.

If for some reason you did need a spacer, you could use a 3/16" spacer which is 5mm, that should give you a +53mm offset with a +58mm offset wheel. But you can try the wheel on the car and see if it rubs anywhere, if it doesnt then no need for the spacer unless you just want to set it out a little further.

Youre going to want to run the spacer for aesthetic purposes. Cars with the wheels tucked too far under the fenders look just as bad as cars with wheels that bulge out IMO

You'll be fine with that offset. But yea I'd run a small spacer to get the wheel out a little bit.

I got a small spacer set (3/8") off of eBay. I'll see how it works with em on and off.

Thank You All!
