Default wheel spacer size.

alright guys. i need a set of wheel spacers for the rear of my car. wheels are mrr design gt1 18x8.5 and are wrapped in 225x40. i believe the offset is 35. car is also riding on h&r sport springs. i believe i have about an inch of clearance as it sits now. id like to push them out as far as i can without them rubbing im not worried about them sitting flush i'd like a little poke. ive been thinking 12mm? to big? not big enough?

Can't really say how much you can push out before you rub. Every car is different especially with the different suspension setups. Generally, you should see how much the fender goes down when you drive (and how hard the dampening is) plus how low you are. Those are all factors to consider when you wanna poke and yet you don't wanna rub.

Just remember though, you ain't dubbin til you rubbin.
