Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So I picked up a set of winter wheels for a good price but now I'm not sure about the offset sizes. Fronts are 8x18 and 54 offset (235/40/18), and rears are 10x18 with 40 offset (265/40/18). I imagine I would need spacers with these? Or will they not fit at all?

POST 2Original post

in relation to factory tire and wheel sizes on the fronts, the tire is 9mm closer and wheel will be 4mm closer to the suspension. Spacers may be needed. on the rear, the tire and wheel will be 7 mm farther away, so no spacer needed and will still probably be under the fender Mount them and see if there is a clearance problem on the front. If so, add a spacer

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

They are installed and seem to be okay without the spacers. Really at the limit though.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
