I am getting Megan Coilovers in a week and I am not to sure if I am going to clear my tires. I have DT-05r's 16 x 7.5/ 16 x 8.5. Would I need spacers? If so, would I need longer hub threads? Thanks guys.

I have 17x8 +35 FN's all around I needed at least a 10mm spacer in front and I could clear the rears without a spacer probably. So probably to be on the safe side pending on your offset of the front, I would maybe do a 10mm in the front, and maybe a 10mm in the rear.... It should work. I used kics spacers, no hub bolts needed cause they just bolt on, but you need to shave the existing hub bolts so they don't hit your rims....

Cool thanks, my offsets are +22 in front and +37 in back

So probably 10mm in the front or even 5mm might clear cause +35 - 15= 10 offset, but I think +15 will work for you, so you can probably get 10mm spacers in the front 10mm in the rear.... look up kics spacers

There's a thread on wheel fitment.. maybe you should search.



16x7.5 +22 will be fine for front
16.8.5 +37 will be fine for the rear too.

You don't need any spacers. The most you'll need is a 3mm spacer for the front, but I doubt it.
You can use your factory wheel studs, but dont go bigger than a 6mm spacer without using a bolton spacer.

Don't get the expensive bolt on spacers.. you don't need em.

Just go to Autozone and get the metal spacers you throw in between your wheels and rotors.

Hey man, as far as I know, those wheels will clear coilovers. At least that's what I was told when I bought them from Touge Factory a year or so ago.
