Just wondering whats the largest spacers I can fit with RC090 Style 5's, 17x8 et20

I'm not interested in rolling my fenders, but I want to know what spacers I should order

Also, planning on running 245 45 17

Thanks

I have 15mm in the rear but with 235/45 tires no rubbing!I think 18mm still ok!

I have 18mm rear and they're good. No rubbing, still have several MMs to go when fully compressed.

Hey, what size tires are you running? Also, is there a need for spacers at the front at all? I haven't mounted them up yet as I'm still waiting on paint so not even sure what they look like, I'm trying to get everything ready in the mean time.

:alright

235/45. May swap to 245/40 down the road, no reason though. Never rubbed. Could go more on the front too. If you look from behind the rears definitely stick out more than the fronts...there is a lot of room in the front fenders.

I wouldn't ever get rid of my spacers, or go smaller.

Style 19s are the same as RC090 5s:

4500 RPM. I thought you had style 5's. When did you get style 19?

I had staggered Style 5s that rocked...sold them and got just-refinished Style 19s about two months ago.

I liked them but really like the 19s. The honeymoon is over and I'm still in love. :buttrock

Any issues with running a 245/40 or 245/45 tire on a 17X8" wheel?

Be careful when buying on egay, I got a set of 8mm and 12mm from a seller that said they were hubcentric...of course, they were not.

Thanks, I have no prior experience with spacers, so I'm not really sure what to looks for.

I would spend the money on a quality spacer. H & R or Rogue Engineering have a good rep. The Rogue kits come with extended lug bolts.

I bought mine from TMS. Purchased the extended bolts (you have to anyways).

Expensive though. I'd find a used set if I had to do it over.
