**Front Axle Spacers**

Got the rears mounted on today without a problem. Fronts are not even close to clearing the giant caliper as expected.

I really could use some help finding the right spacers for the front axle that will allow these to clear the front caliper, keep vibration as minimal as possible and clear the fender.

the fronts are 20x8.5 and offset is 40


never used anything besides a hub centric spacer but it doesn't look like i can use one with this car on the front axle & im not sure if a 10mm flat spacer will be enough to clear the caliper, really think i'll need 20mm and also don't know if 10mm flat spacer will leave enough lip for the wheel to sit on.

really would appreciate input, for this car i really trust advice from here more than i do a shop tbh

10mm spacers will be fine. you will still have a lot of hub left to mount the wheel on

thank u will order these tonight along with longer bolts. & a set of 3mm spacers for the rear for my other rims hopefully will be enough to keep my 295s from chewing up my inside fender when i hit dips
