I recently bought 20" replicas of the M166's, they are 20X8.5 & 20X9.5, would I need spacers?, and if so, what size would you recommend?

All advise is greatly appreciated, thanks

You have to tell us what are the offsets (ET numbers) for the front wheel and for the rear wheel.

I believe they are 15 front and 20 rear, I'm checking with the seller, what do you think with these offsets, what size of spacers?

I don't think you would need spacers with those widths and offsets. Maybe 5mm spacers in front but I think the rear is just fine.

Thanks for the great advise guys.

Once I get my KW V2 coilovers I will be putting the wheels.

Question:

What tire size would you recommend for these wheels? (considering I will have the KW V2's lowered), I was told 245/35/20 and 275/30/20, what do you think?

also, if anybody know what setting are best for the V2's, should I adjust suspension softer in the front, stiffer in the rear?
