Help choosing the correct mm spacer for F50 w/ 10" +43 wheels

Aloha, I was wondering if you guys can help me choose the right sized adapters/spacers for some wheels I just bought. Offsets are weak but they were cheap. Car is an F50 Cima. Wheels are 19x10 front/rear with +43mm offsets. I'm looking for flush fitment on a stock fender car (rolled but not pulled), car will be bagged, so suspension height all the way down. I know I need to buy adapters/spacers, and I'm guessing they will be different sizes front/rear to accomidate clearance. I did some searching and some people said 10" wide rears with between +10 to +25 offsets will sit flush on a Y33 Cima stock fender. But I'm not sure if this applies to an F50 Cima too. If it does that would mean I need 20-30mm adapters/spacers for the rears. Also not sure what would work best for the fronts. If anyone can help me, would really appreciate it! Thanks!!

I think 20-30mm sounds about right.

if you plan on bagging, then go with the easy 25mm adapter at front and possibly 30mm at back.

you may want to consult to widebodyQ for confirmation.

The rear offset on a 10 should be in the low +20's

You will have issues up front because you wont clear the strut with that width and offset. You need atleast a 15mm spacer up front to do so.

Messure everything. I can't give you exact numbers because I was never slammed on stock fenders

Slam it, roll the fenders, put the wheels on and measure from there. You have to consider tire size and alignment specs as well.

I saw a how to on VIPCAR or was it VIPSTYLE mag. You tape a string to your fender with a washer hanging from the string. Then measure the distance between the string and wheel. That would get you the what size spacer you need to have your wheels flush with your fenders. If I find the mag I'll scan it.

Thank you for the help guys. I'm planning on running 235/35/19 yokohama s-drives on all 4 wheels, should be a good stretch for added clearance. I still need to research the alignment aspect, how much negative camber I can run front/rear, and what aftermarket parts are available for F50's to modify camber. Maxpowers, that sounds like a great idea to do the measurements. I guess the next step is to focus on bagging the car so I can have the stance I want. Then I can mount the wheels with the tires mounted and do the measurements. I won't be pulling or radius'ing the fenders, but what else would you guys recommend I do to help with clearance up in the fenders? I'm pretty sure rolling the fenders front/rear is required, do the inner-fenderwells need to be modified?

honestly I would just get rid of these and get something already with lower offsets and get correct tires. Since you got these rims on such a deal you should be able to make some money on them.

Yup, these are the ones that were on FH and craigslist. Blitz, what do you mean by get the right tire? is 235/35/19 a bad size for 19x10's? Going for a nice stretch and all, but not too crazy of a stretch. I don't think I would sell these to make a profit, its just not my style to flip stuff like that. I'm going to make these work with the right spacers, and if I ever do sell these wheels, it'll be for the same price or lower. Thanks for the help guys.

its just strange that you are trying to stretch the tires and adding spacers when neither is needed for the wheels to fit.

I don't see why selling the rims you bought and changing your mind and selling be "not your style". Also with the same offset and width all around the rims are not going to give you the staggered look. You also might have problems with running 19x10 up front. If you add any spacers those suckers are going to stick out alot. You'll probably need to run spacers to clear the suspension anyways. I'd worry about the fronts before anything and test fit the wheels to see how the 19x10 look on the front.

just in reference to MAX_POWERS theory, if you are going to do this then it is assuming nothing else will change e.g. camber. I would recommend gettng the bags, dumping the car, rolling the guards, and then do the washer-measurement thing. otherwise you may end up with too small a spacer because when you dump the car and stretch the tyres, they will camber in and go under too far.

Thanks again for the help guys. I'm looking into doing this stuff because I want the car to look a certain way. I'm not sure why this is coming off as strange. You're into VIP/EXE so you know the look I'm going for. When the bags are dropped I want the rim lip to sit flush with the fender, stretched tire tucking under the lip of the fender. To get this fitment I'm gonna need adapters/spacers and a bit of a tire stretch. I made this post just in case someone had already gone through this with my kind of car and these size/spec mods. When I get the car bagged I'll do the measurements, and I'll post the results here with pics. If it turns out the 10" is too much for the fronts with the look I want and the specs I ended up with, then I'll sell the wheels. I was just saying, its not my style to buy car parts cheap and then sell for more (flip). I only do that kind of stuff with real estate. :biggthumpup: But for car parts, I'll always sell stuff for same price or cheaper, keeps the scene going ...

The front doesnt camber on an F50 so that method will work. The rear slightly cambers but not much at all.
