1 inch spacer enough??

[Twista]

To bring 275'40'17 flush with the fender? I just need some spacers to get my passenger side tire away from the bassani tip to be honest, but bringing them flush would be a plus. .

I was looking on AM and seen this car with 1 inch spacer and that looks terrible

but the rest looks okay

i find it hard to beleive that first pic has a 1" spacer.....its probably a "before" pic

 

[KillNThrill24]

Agreed that's definitely not a 1".. Or even a half inch. That's a no inch.

That first pic must be an 05-up offset wheel. I had a 1 inch spacer with 05-up offset 18x10 FR500s and it sat them flush. A one inch spacer will make a huge difference.

Thanks guys. Found my measuring tape and going to make sure.

Yeah just tape a piece of string to your quarter and let it hang down passed the lip of the wheel. Then just measure how much you need. Im running 1" spacers with my 275/40/18's and they sit perfect.

Yea 1" makes a nice difference . The top pic must be 05+ off set which is outta control

1st pic is a before. Not sure how that snuck in there.

A 1'' will bring them right about flush, if not perfect.. 1.25 should be almost exact if not a tiny tiny tiny bit more.

I ran a 1.25 i think it was with 275s.. I now run a 1.5 with 295s LOL. gotta love it!

i ran 1.25" spacers on 275's here. but that wont matter as much as your backspacing on your wheels. i was at 6" backspacing and sat just outside the fender bout 1/4"

This ^

1.25 with 275s looks awesome. But now that i have 295s and the spacer it looks ****ing epic.

How do you guys roll the fenders on the SNs? I'm putting the 1.25" spacers on my rear with 275 tires, I figure I'll roll the tops just a little. But I don't want to damage paint if I can help it.

The Foxes are easy since they have the flared out fenders.

 

[Twista]

So 1.25 looks better? Any pictures?

ive seen it once.

They chopped a few slits in the inner fender to give it "folding" room.
then used the roller to do the fenders.
after it was rolled, he went at the inner fender that was freshly rolled with a set of body-working hammers and dyes to smooth the ripples on the inside (pretty extreme, if you ask me.)

I dont have my fenders rolled. But yes you actually have to end up cutting into the fender a tad to get it to roll properly without Fing more up on the outside of the fender
