[QUOTE="cobra-bit, post: 10620355, member: 95204"] It’s actually pretty simple but to make sure I had a perfectly centered rear I installed a pan hard rod, which was part of my suspension modification plans anyways. To check the offset and center of my rear I used a plum-bob from the edge of the fender to a fixed object on the rear, or rim if mounted. Once you have your rear end centered grab an extra set of lug nuts (8 lugs). With your rear wheels removed screw your first set of lugs down to your desired backspacing, I’d start with ½” spacing. Make sure to measure from the face of your hub (where the back of your wheel rest on the rotor) to the outside of your lug – this will simulate your spacer. Then slap your wheel and tire combo on, bolt it down, and check your clearance from all angles making sure there’s no rubbing. You can also use the plum-bob to check for fender clearance. Keep adjusting your inner lugs until you get the desired spacing and do this to both sides of the car. When you get everything set where you want it, drop the car to the ground and roll it a few feet to make sure you still have spacing once the cars suspension is loaded. You want to make sure everything is clear beforem ordering your custom spacers. Since the tires I’m running are straight walled I’m planning on going with a wider set of spacers to push my combo out further so the set above are up for grabs. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions. [/QUOTE]
