wheel spacers?!?!
 
Okay so heres my situation.

I have 17x7.5" Rota Subzeros 45mm offset with 215/45/17 tires.

there is a high chance of rubbing on the inside because of the gay offset of my rims, ideal is 42 offset.

we'll i've been looking all over and cannot find any 3mm spacers.

1. does anyone know where i can find 2 or 3 mm spacers?

2. do you think i can push washers around my wheel stufs to space the wheel out or is that too ghetto?

don't go with washers, they are not accurate enough. first, i'd contact all the affiliates and see if any of them offer wheel spacers. then i'd try some local wheel shops, then i'd try ebay. i got my 5mm set when i was in japan. they work great.

^ ive tried anywhere/everywhere possible
no one has 3mm spacers

i found some 5mm spacers but that is too much and would lead to rubbing on the fender

Isn't the stock offset 45? I don't think you'll have any rubbing unless the car is very low. Can't you put the wheels on and test the fit first?

I think H&R makes wheel spacers.

^ yep stock offset is +45, but the stock wheels is 6.5" and has a 195 wide tire
didnt think id have rubbing either, but after soooo much searching i found quite a few ppl with 17x7.5 subzero 215/45/17 and they have rubbing problems. all of them had 1.8" or more drops.

my drop will be 1.75" all around so im coming close and there is big chance ill rub.

lol i called H&R, eibach, koni, kyb etc.. and no one makes 3mm spacers it seem


this sucks!
