Default another spacers question

my front wheels are 7.5 +48 and im looking to bring them out a bit. would a 3mm T1R spacer make them almost flush with my front fenders? or do i need something like a 5mm. and if im going with something so small do i really need extended studs and hub centric rings? i dont want to half ass anything but on a budget. can someone shed some light on this... thank you in advance s2ki

IMO, in order to keep the stock studs you have to run a 3mm spacer which will hardly make any difference at all. Not worth it.

5mm is borderline, you will lose over 3 full turns on your lug nuts. A 3mm spacer should be super cheap and you won't need hub rings, it might be worth a try if you want a subtle change. You can use some washers to temporarily space out the wheel and see how much you want, but don't drive with them on.

i didnt even think of using washers to get an idea, thanks for that, as far as getting cheap spacers, do you recommend anything specific? and maybe where to get them?

only one I know of is project kics (15mm front/70mm bore). If you ask me, Don't even bother. Keep it the way it is or get new wheels.
