I wouldn't worry about spacers on the rear at all, and use the smallest possible one out front to clear the stock spring perch.
I don't have experience with clearance with stock springs as I'm running coilovers, but most seem to get by OK with a spacer and slightly less wide tires (say a 245 instead of a 265 tire). Hopefully someone else can chime in on front clearance for you so you get a definitive answer.
Edit: not sure if you've seen this thread, but you can get an idea of how much the fenders are filled out with these exact wheels here - http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=35463&page=1 |
Thank you for your reply. Seems like the frsproject calculator is false then. You are correct, based on that link (totally the look I am going for) and your testimony, 9.5 on stock seems to poke out a bit--which I am trying to avoid. Good thing too, I almost bought them today... I was so set on 9.5 square.
I know beggars can't be choosers but I would really like a nice concaved wheel while staying square (Now I'm back to the drawing board). Any ideas? Would 17x9s be better?
