wheel spacer question

[matt87]

just wondering for those who have used 18x10 saleen replica wheels, did you run spacers with them? i wonder how flush they sit with the wheel opening? thanks for any tips!

I have 18x10.5 and I still used spacers. You should message mooch. I believe he had saleen 18x10 wrapped with kdw 295 and used spacers with them

What's the offset on those saleen wheels? Pretty easy to calculate. I have some 18x10 ET22 cobra R rep in the back and I'm running a 1" spacer so you just need the wheel offset to calculate how much spacer you want. Mine is the equivalent of ET-3 and that right at the fender which they are rolled.

I'm pretty sure saleen rep will have a similar offset.

EDIT: The ones that AM sells have an offset of ET28. If the ones that you're looking for are the same, you could probably run a 20mm spacer w/o having to roll the fender. It just depend on how close you want to get to the fender.
