Please Help! I need spacers but.....
Hi guys! This is my first post. I have been doing my homework on tires and wheel sizes but still need a little help from the experts. I have a gen 1 Solara V6 and already purchased tokico struts, Tein S tech lowering springs, and monroe strut mounts for both the front and rear. I also went and purchased some RX-8 OEM wheels with 225/40/18 tires but before researching. The rims are 18x8, +50mm offset, and have a center bore of 67mm. The part I need help with is the spacers. I wanna go with hub centric spacers but, since my solara has a 60.1mm center bore, what spacers should I buy? And how many millimeters should I go with on the rear? I was thinking about buying 10mm for the rear and 5mm or 8mm in the front. With this spacing, would it rub with 225/40/18? And since the bore size is different, should I get spacers made for mazda wheels(67mm bore) or the toyota wheels(60.1mm). I dont really know how hub centric spacers work. But, I assume that if I go with toyota spacers, the spacer will be fine but the bore will be smaller than the rim's bore so wheel wont be hub centric. But, if I go with a mazda spacer that will be perfect for the rim, the bore size of the spacer will be bigger than the hub on the solara. Please correct me if I am wrong and also please help me simplify this so I can get all my parts installed soon.
