FL5 Type R Wheel Spacer Sizing

[fl5rocco]

Hello everyone,

I am new to this forum and would like a little guidance. I'm looking to improve the stance of my car with wheel spacers. I came across these lightweight spacers that seem to be pretty good quality.

What size should I get for a flush fitment? Thanks!

Im going to be honest with you. Everyone gets 15mm x 15mm or 20mm x 20mm or 20mm x 25mm or 20mm x 27mm. BUT I AM VERY ANAL with fitment not poking out and looking funny and also looking very even to the wheel wells without poke. I went with 15mm front and 20mm rear. it is 100% perfect to my liking. i got mine on ebay from bonos and "made an offer" at like $193 i think and they accepted it and took a week to get them or less. REALLY worth it

That's great! Post up photos in the spacer thread. It will be helpful to others as they come along with similar questions or concerns.

Thank you very much for your response! I will try to go with the 15mm front and 20mm rear.

hello wondering if the bonos spacers. is it direct bolt on, any cutting for the studs and does original wheel nuts fit. thanks

I’m running a 20mm spacer in the front and a 5mm stacked with a 20mm. I’m lowered on FL5 swift springs, 1 inch drop. No rubbing at all. I had a 3mm on the front, but the front wheel appeared to set out more than the rear. Looks like money now.

That looks really good! I already ordered the 15mm and 20mm. I'll see how it looks then will go from there! Thank you for the photos!

Your welcome. If you need the smaller spacers I bought mine from Titan Wheel Spacers. Great company and excellent products.
