For a 5 lug, is there any specific size for a wheel spacer, other than maybe the depth?
I may be looking at some spacers for the front, to bump out the tire.

Also you will need to buy longer studs.

I have 1" spacers up front on my car and went to 80mm studs on the rotor. I have about 3/4" space between the tire and the fender now.

I am curious here, I want to put on flares, and currently am running 195/60/15. Can I put on flares and run spacers to fill out the space or is that a bad idea. I would love some input and help. budget tight as I am having my engine rebuilt by fat performance. I am vinyl wrapping the car and want to put the flares on before I wrap it. No budget left for new rims and rubber.

Thoughts?

Thanks
