i'm ordering origin 30mm widebody (pulled fender look) and i have MB battle 17x9.5 +15.. my question is what size spacers will i need to make the rims flush? i don't want to run crazy camber either.

20mm?

this is going to sound crazy but you would probably need a 50mm spacer. this is my specs with the same overfenders as yours: sportmax 18x9.5,+35offset. with 50mm spacer its still not "hellaflush" but works. but since yours is +15 it will be great. so if you want to measure compared to mines: 9.5 x 25.4 = 241.3mm, minus 35mm plus 50mm because of spacer. 265mm overall is going to be from the outside hub to lip of rim. now you can measure from your hub to the end of your fender and see what number that is, then add 30mm cause of the overfender. mine is about 2/5 of an inch away from fender to rim.

oh and i forgot to mention with overfenders you can bow them to make them go out more, or suck them in more by pushing on the overfender while mounting it.

thats really good info, ill have to remember that when i buy wheels for my s13...i was thinking of running a 17x9 +25 in the front and 17x9.5 +12 in the rear (these are just my initial estimates, i havnt looked at what people are running too closely yet) and if i can push or pull the over fender to get it to fit just right without running crazy camber that would be great...im not into herrafrush (not hating on those who are

) at all, and believe in proper alignment specs for performance, but still want to fill out the wheel openings effectively

damn 50mm really? my friend has 50mm over fenders and i'm pretty sure he has 50mm spacers and hes flush on the same rims as me, but i'll double check, thanks for the reply man!

hate to bring up a very old thread but i cant find help.
i was wondering what size of spacers did you use?

heres my problem.
i have 30mm spacers on 18x9.5 +15 mb battles.
i cant find 40mm widebody.
only options i have is 30mm widebody.
but i dont want it to rub.
i dont want krazy camber either

theboy · 10-06-2011, 01:38 PM

if your running 30mm spacers, why not ditch them for 15mm or 20mm spacers. Seems like a pretty freakin easy answer to your question. Now stop being an idiot.

blueshark123 · 10-06-2011, 01:40 PM

You are doing ti wrongggg. Take the spacers off u dont need widebody get better rims if u want to be widebody

S13-JOhNy. · 10-06-2011, 01:42 PM

seshhhh thanks for the help guys!!!!!

blueshark123 · 10-06-2011, 01:50 PM

well its the truth what do you expect and most overfenders come in 30mm and 50 mm but you can bow them out to a different size depending on how u want it

i dont that hellaflush look.
a finger or 2 gap will be fine.
you think i could bow out the 30mm to the point it doesnt rub?
