What size spacers do I need

Hey I'm trying to make my car look more stanced. I have xxr 527 in 18x8.75 +20 with a 225 tre on it. I'm in coilovers and my tire is just tucking. What size spacer do I need to get it perfectly flush I have 2.6 degrees of negative camber also. I would like it to be as close to flush as possible. Minimal rubbing

Better idea: instead of moving the wheel outwards, how about putting a sensible tire on the wheels?

You could try 15mm. But you should really get some wider tires and or wheels.

It doesn't even make sense. Stock wheels/tires with a 20mm spacer would be better than this.

You said that the stretch isn't that bad, but I don't think that's the point. You could probably do a 10-15mm spacer, but you need new tires. At a minimum, 245s.

Are these wheels from an VIII or IX? That would make more sense.

well the standard evo size is 18x10 and 18x9.5 with a 265 or 255 tire.

with your setup go with a 15-20mm spacer

I'm not a die hard track guy, but I'm not into mods that do more harm than good. And secondly the springs I have are more functional than most coilovers out there. A proper set of coilovers are at least 2k, anything else is crap (you get what you pay for).

Sorry for being an ***... But I still think the wheel/tire/alignment setup you wanna run is lame... And so are your D2 coilovers...

Its going to be hard on that wheel bc its not wide enough and impossible on those tires. Im trying to just be honest not rude. I'm running your same wheels but 18x9.75 with 275 35 tires and a 5/16 spacer and I will be switching to 285 and taking the spacer off.
