hey guys i just purchased some breyton spirit wheels. the offset for the rears are 26 but i dont know the offset to the fronts and it doesn't state behind the wheels. I know the oem is 28 in the rear and 12 in front. the front wheels hit the shock so i will need to get spacers for the front. since the offset is pretty much the same in the rear, i dont think i'll need spacers for the rear. i need to know what size spacers to get.

You can measure the maximum thickness of spacer by yourself:

That guys thread on the M5board helped me out. I just purchased Breytons as well. I needed a 30mm spacer for the front. I actually have an extra set of H&R 30mm spacers that I can sell to you. They were only on my car for about 200 miles. The reason why I have them is I thought they caused a vibration in the wheel. After getting another set of spacers overnighted to me the same thing happened. The wheel needed to be balanced and it wasn't the spacer. The spacers are $179 new. If you want them I can sell them to you for $110+shipping. This is quite a deal since they are perfect. I'm just trying to recover at least half of my money between all the cost of the spacers and the overnight shipping I paid. I hope this helps.

Let me know.

what size bolts would i need to get for the 30mm spacer and 10mm spacer. also i hear some people had some rub issues with doing 12mm spacer for the rear. if that true then i think i should do the 8mm spacer in the rear. also where is the best place to buy the spacers from. i only need the rears since i'll be buying the fronts from another member. thx for the info in advance

If you are running 30mm hub spacers which bolt onto the hub, you can use your original bolts!

With spacers that do not bolt onto the hub themselves, you will need bolts that are OEM + thickness of your spacer! Bolts usually come with spacers if you ask!
