HELP - Anyone with OEM 20" can measure front wheel ASAP
 
I'm sitting here figuring out a spacer I need to order.

For those with OEM 20's - 20x9.5x (OEM spec 45 offset), can you take a quick measure or eyeball and tell me how much room I have to play on it being flush with the front fender --- no extended arches installed.


I would personally prefer a 5mm spacer, but at the end of the day, I think the 10mm spacer is going to force my hand on decision making due to 10mm having a hubcentric lip.

If anyone can do this and report back your findings ASAP much appreciated.

Nevermind - went with 10mm spacers. Decided with 10mm regardless as I did not want to even induce the idea of vibration with non hub centric rings

Hi,I am bit late but here is the information,anyway.
With my Toyos I measured 15mm clearance where it meets the wheel and 25mm from the top ,where it rounds off!
Btw,good call there,you would have regretted having fitted spacers with non hub centric rings!)

I use 7 mm spacers in the front.

Hmmmm - 7mm . That's a interesting size. At 7 mil, does it come with a hubcentric lip. That was the clincher for me. Even though I won't be running them for summers, and winters I won't be balls to walls on the pedal, aside from lateral load issues, I did not want vibration to be a possible issue.

No lip.
