    Hello Everyone,

    I have been searching for many days but unable to find solid information on spacers used to fill some gap for OEM 17's. I have read 5mm front and 15 mm rear.....to some say none for the front to 22mm rear....to some say 15mm front to 25mm rear. I do have plans to lower it via TRD or Tanabe lowering springs too.

    Anyone with experience to what is the best combo (front and rear) for an aggressive and not rubbing thus would requiring fender roll or mods?


    I am currently running the OEM 17x7J 50mm Offset. Sincere thanks in advance.

    I passed by my mechanic buddy and he took 10 minutes to show me how to measure everything. Long story short for anyone interested in adding some stance with OEM 17s: 5 mm Fronts and 15 mm Rears :)

    enjoying the tighter yet comfortable ride even with 4 adults 2 front, 2 on the rear seat....I'm running hubcentric spacers with studs...I went that way to get the maximum threading for my 17x7 50mm OEM wheels...no rubbing either.

    I actually took my 5mm front and 15mm rear off because wanted more mpg and like the sunk in look more and more:).

    I know this is an old thread but thanks for sharing Subcode. Appears there is sufficient clearance behind the wheels for the studs to protrude for the 15mm spacers? center bore diameter is 54.1 correct? thanks!

    How much was the decrease in mpg with spacers?

    I don't even notice the mpg
    Difference. Its more like a placebo effect.
