Wheel spacers

I've got 18x8.5 wheels with 35mm offset all around, what is the correct thickness wheel spacer for this application? (Planning on lowering approx 1 inch in future).

Thanks and thanks Gerry for getting the forum back on track. :cheers2:
 
Assuming the spoke design clears the front calipers, you can run those wheels as is. The outer edge will extend 5mm closer to the fender than stock. If you want a slightly more aggressive look, a 5mm spacer can be used. If you want to go more aggressive, you can use a 15mm hub-centric spacer which will move the outer edge 20mm closer to the fender. This *should* still clear without rubbing with a 245/40 tire but it may be close.
 
I have the Monoblocks 8.5 - 17 with 30 offset without spacers
with tires 245/45-17

Ringmeister what kind of wheels are you using?

I have a set of mono VI with the same specs as you stated. I have not gotten a chance to mount them yet.

Since you are in the same scenario I am in, Would you let me know how things worked out for you.
