wheel dilemma ?
my bro has a set of works sitting around. size is 18x8.5 et41 front with 225/40/18 tires and 18x9.5 et41 rear with 265/35/18 tires. i tryed test fitting them on but it would hit the shock front and rear. i was wondering how much of a spacer should i run so that it would clear the inside wheel well and the outside fender?

Those offsets are just wrong for your car, I do not believe spacers would help any. You can run +32 in the front and +38 in the rear with 5mm spacers and it would be pretty flush with the fender.

my bro and i just fitted the wheels with 10mm spacers rear and 15mm front. it clears from hitting the shock and inside fender well. that was my main concern. now that i know 15front and 10rear would work, where is the best place to get spacers? are ebay ones any good? i know i need hubcentric ones. the spacers i used to test fit i just borrowed from my buddy and they are not hubcentric.
