What kind of spoke design do your wheels have?

Spoke design is more important than wheel offset man...

my avatar is the wheels that i have ssr minervas really dont know if they are 0 disk or as some call it low disk ...

r33gtr wheels are 9j et30 and require a 10mm spacer.but it really depends on the wheel design.
what i usually do it jack the car up take the wheel off then lower the car down onto a block of wood under the chassis rail so that it is at ride height
then put the wheel back on the studs at where i think it should be and measure the gap.that should determine what spacer you need

Low disk Minervas are probably going to need a huge spacer to clear it, seeing as blackcoupe said it took a 25mm spacer to clear his Z brakes, and his were the A-disks (normal disk I think).

Here's the post:
