Search isnt working, but quick question:

Buying new wheels(off of a new spec-v sentra), 17x7 all around, ET38. What size spacer would be needed to most importantly, clear 26mm z32 brakes, and clear suspension(kyb agx + tein stech for now, but willl need to clear coilovers in the (hopefully) near future), and avoid the sunken battleship look.

(they have some curb rash/oxidation blemishes, but they will be refinished and power coated bronze)

thanks

It's possible that they'll clear the 26mm calipers without a spacer.

If you want to use a spacer with the stock studs, get a small 4 or 5mm one. Anything larger will be unsafe with the stock studs. ...or you can get one of those bolt-on spacers.

Spoke design is critical and these spokes ok.

Some guys will tell you to get 25mm bolt on spacer to avoid sunken look. but.. don't you want the tire to fit inside the fender when your car's suspension cycles through it's range of travel?

The size you have will fit fine onto the car. What size tire will you use?
