Hey guys, I have OEM style 124 wheels, 18 x 8.5 in the front and 18 x 10 in the rear with the stock sport suspension. What spacers do I need to make it all flush? And does anyone know what the offsets are or how I can check? Because I keep finding info on 124's that are 18 x 9 in the rear so I don't want to just get 15mm spacers that are too big/small.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

You can measure it yourself. Use a ruler to measure the distance from the edge of the tire to how flush you want it to be.

For instance, a 3mm will push your wheel out 3mm, a 5mm will push it out 5 and so on. Does that make sense?

lol, i know that, i just wanna know if there's a known size... i'm actually more interested in the offsets tbh. i hear a lot of people putting 12mm spacers (albeit on different rims) and it solves their problems but it seems like for my setup I have to put something like 20+, which seems unsafe to me
