Hey guys what's up, i don't know if this is in the right section or not, but i needed an answer pretty quickly.

Heres my dilemma, (before you say anything i know i know, i need new wheels but its not high on my list right now) i have a set of Sportmax 962's 17x9's +35(eww), and i have rolled rear fenders and 30mm wide silvia front fenders, now to get the best fit i figured 30mm spacers all the way around...but i was seeing what would fit better a 25mm or a 30, the tire sizes are 225/45/17...heres a pick of my rear roll with the wheels, old pics (no spacer and a 235/45/17).

Why not just get wheels with better offset? If it was me I would not go as high as 30.

Just measure your gaps and buy the spacers that will best fit what you need.1 inch=25.4mm hope that helps you.

Maybe try measuring from the tire to fender?...

you have 30mm wide front fenders... your offset will be +5 still with those spacers. it will still not be flush. should look decent...but not as best as it could be....imo spacers are gonna be like $200 right? so why not sell wheels and get something with the right offset to begin with.

disconnect your shock at the bottom.

jack the control arm up until the tire/wheel is tucked up to where it'd be under max compression...

use a ruler
