The best thing to do is use a tape measure to measure the distance between the outer part of your tire and the inner part of the fender. This will determine how much room you have to move the wheels out. From there, you can figure out what size spacer to go with. We carry the H&R TRACK+ Spacers which vary in price by size and whether you purchase the longer bolts.

You'll probably want to measure it out just to make sure what sizes you can run. Without knowing the sizes of your wheels, the offsets, the size of the tire, we can't really help out, it's just a guessing game.

Just measure from the top of the tire to the fender and you'll be good.

My personal choice for spacers would be Macht Schnell. Their spacer kits come with the bolts so there isn't any confusion of what sizes to get after you purchase a spacer

Measuring is going to be the best bet to get things exactly where you would like them. We suggest keeping things a few MM's under the measurement to prevent any rubbing issues.

We have a large selection of wheel spacers and bolt kits available that can be found here on our website for your application:
