I just ordered a set of 20x8.5 wheels for my xb2 with +38 offset. My question is what size spacer do I need in the rear to get them to sit FLUSH? My tires are 225/30/r20
If any of you got pics post em up please!!!

I think my wheels have a 45 offset... anyways, I'm not sure, but it's a high number. They're 8" wide. When I put them on I felt like the fronts had some poke and the rears sat way narrow. I looked up some forum posts and people generally got between 10-20mm. The eBay default size is 12mm (probably a good number) and I chose 15mm. I just wanted them to match. I think it came out good @ 15.

this is before the install I'm just holding a spacer against the tire

Now I deal with it being painfully obvious that the camber is mismatched ... maybe made more obvious by the car's geometric shape

Thanks! I guess it's a whole lot of simple math, and knowing what the difference is on the spacing with front and rear. I just thought SOMEONE would have a similar setup as mine and I could get the easy way out.
Hopefully someone more knowledgable will chime in

What spring setup are you running?
