Spacer advice

[Johnross]

changing my set up from. 255/30/19 19x19.5 jj to 255/35/18 18x8j , does the 12mm spacer need to go back on ?

Cheers guys

Its down to the Et number or offset number

Ok ,, that's good , I have no idea , is that on the wheels Andy ?

Just found them , et 45 on old rims , et 32 on new ones ,, still have no idea what that means though :?

Should be stamped on the rear , should be around 35/45 with standard Z alloys being et50 rear et47 front .

The et number defines where the face of the wheel sits in relation to the wheel arch .
The lower the number the more the face moves away from the suspension .
The difference in your numbers above is 13mm hence no need for the spacers .
Get em sold & pocket the cash

Woo hoo , so I'm good to go on the back ones , hope the front lot doesn't trip me up , cheers mate

Going from et45 to et32 will take the rims out 13mm (I think) so I doubt you will need spacers.

13mm out on the rears isn't much tbh. They'll still look a little lost in the arches. If you want a nice wide look, you could go for 12mm spacers without an issue.
