wheel fitment ? (please help)

[roeinondubs]

ok so i jus got some 17x9 +35 for my fronts and 18x9.5 rears for my s13. they fit great in the rear and in the front i used a 5mm slip on spacer which made it clear everything on the drivers side but for some reason it doesnt clear on the passenger side???? any1 have some ideas.

well what doesnt it clear??? brakes, strut, fender??? the car may at one point have been wrecked and the subframe is out of alignment

[roeinondubs]

well it hits the strut im thiknig its 2mm too close. reason being, that i put 2 5mm slip on spacer on that side tighted the lug nuts and put it on my lift. i rotated the rim and it cleared the strut. i measured the gap with a 3mm feeler gauge and that was the size of the gap

[adrianfromthecastle]

get thicker spacers. You're talking about a 2mm imperfection that may be or may not be related to a spacer that YOU made...

either way, you might as well get spacers for the sake of flushness anyways.

i didnt make spacers i bought a set of 5mm from summit. and the question is y would it fit on 1 side but not the other?

ok i fixed! took off da 5mm ang put on sum 5/16 spacers looks great nice and flush
