Offset always makes my head hurt...I did search, but that just makes it hurt more.

89 245
17X7 S80 wheels et49


I read that et20 is prime for 240s, so 29mm spacers? Bigger in the rear? 34mm?

This place says 25mm & 30mm for 80 series -

Also I'm thinking 215/40/17 fronts and 225/40/17 rears, sound OK?

Thanks

that's right.

getting a little bigger spacer in back will make them stick out a bit more so you'll have to watch for fender contact. My 215/45/17s are spaced out an extra 15mm each side in the rear and have a few mm clearance between inside and outside of fender. I needed to adjust my panhard rod a few times to get it not to rub on either side.

Thanks for the reply.

So does anyone know what spacer sizes would be best for this set-up?

Are you using Gillracing spacers? Is that what they were, 25 and 30?

nope, avalanche. 10mm spacers in front (or is it 12?) and 25mm adapters in back.

DP (what does THAT stand for?) you will probably want 25 in front and 30mm in back, or perhaps a bit wider, though I'm not sure how wide/thick you can them.
