How do you know what wheel spacers you would need? I have a 98 240sx with 225/50/16 the offset is +40 and i just purchased the kts coilovers. Now i need to know what size wheel spacer i would need to make this fit. If anyone has this setup and has wheel spacers then your help would be greatly appreciated.

My 225/50/16 tires on a +35 rim will not clear kts in the front. Rears have plenty of clearance.

You will not need spacers in the rear, But I would suggest using a 10 mm spacer to make them more flush. You will want the 50 mm studs if you use such a spacer.

For the front, You will want a maximum offset of +30, which might still rub slightly depending on what tires you using. I would suggest using a 10mm spacer up front as well, with the extended 50mm studs.

Studs are easy to swap out, I just recently did mine in the front.

just get 4 20mm spacers.

Bring your wheels into check and you'll be able to run a bolt on spacer (which would prolly save you money in the long run)
