Help With Tires and Spacers
This is probably a stupid question but I Just Ordered a new set of Wheels size: 21x9 et 20 fronts and 21x11.5 et 28 rear. My question is where can I find a site to let me know what spacers I would need to get a flush look as well as what is the best tire size for these?

not entirely sure why you would order wheels that required spacers to fit how you want them to but to each his own. I also dont understand why would would order a 9" front when stock is 9.5.
To answer your question, the front wheel will extend about 5MM more toward the outside. I would say 12MM is ideal so you are 7mm short of flush. The issue is that anything less than 10MM for a spacer isn't hub centric so you can have some issues there. Search for threads on this topic. In the rear, You will loose 22mm inner clearance and extend 4mm more. 15mm from stock is pretty much flush so you will need a 10MM spacer in the rear to be flush. More importantly, the spacer will fix your inner clearance depending on rear tire size. You would have some clearance issues on an 11.5 without the spacer is my guess. That takes me back to my original thought. Why order wheels that don't fit the way you want them to? |

They were used, by ordered I meant like they are getting shipped to me by the seller. But I like the design and I figured with some spacers I can make them look good you know? Thanks for the Input.

I'd probably leave the fronts and go with about a 10-15mm spacer for the rear. What size tyres are you thinking of running?
