Hi all, I just installed 19 inch replicas 167 wheels with 20 rear offset. It's 9.5 with 275/30. I know some people use 12mm for their OEM 166 which bring it to offset 16. My question is will it rub for me if I uses the 5mm which will bring it to offset 15?
Seeing from the wheel gap, I do think it will rub... =(
Could someone verify this..
Thank you...

That doesnt sound right. if you have the stock ET20(.7 inches) on the rear and you add 12mm(.47 inches) spacer you are pushing the rim towards the fender lip which means the bulldog stance which means a final offset of ET8 which would probably rub. A 5mm which is about .2 inches should give the wheels a nice stance and "shouldnt" rub, the final offset with that will be ET15(.5 inches).
