    Wheel spacer?

    Okay I have 18x9 Saleen rims on my car but the back wheels look like they are tucked under the car. What size spacer to I need to bring them out for a flush look? (fronts are flush already) I will be buying some 18x10 saleen rims for the back soon so this might change what I need? Who out there runs spacers on what size rim? I just want a flush look for the rear. Thanks.

    P.S. Guy locally is selling 1/2" spacers. Would that be enough or would I need more spacing?

    I just want them to be flush or very close to flush with the fender edge and the wheel. If it makes a difference I am running a 285/35/18 tire with an IRS

    I've got a 3/8th spacer - never been used. Give me a call if you're interested.

    I think something on the lines of 3/4 inch will bring them out nice and flush with the frnder.

    Well I can either get a 3/4 inch or a 3/8 inch one. This will be on a 18x10 saleen rim BTW.

    Will do. I am going to check out how the 3/4" one fits on my 18x9's looks like they dont need too much spacing to be flush. Not sure how the 18x10 will look but I need a spacer regardless on 18x10 because of my IRS. Might keep the 18x9's and buy the 18x10's and have a 305/35/18 MT drag radial mounted on
    Will let you know if I end up needing it.
