Default Would 43 offset volk ce28n fit EF w/ fastbrakes 4 piston kit and 10mm spacer??

There is gent on the board selling the rims I've been looking for. 15 inch Volk ce28n. I wanted to get 35 offset, but his are 43. He's saying to just run a 10mm spacer and it will work. Anyone done this?

With a 10mm spacer, would I have to run longer wheel studs? I would think so.

Any advice would be great.

if you run a 3-5mm youll be ok. if you wanna run 10mm you will either have to run extended studs or the kits that bolt to your existing studs and have new studs in the spacer. im not sure of the caliper clearance ont he ce28n but i know with my itr calipers on my 11" set up i have to use spacers on my old ssr type-x and my old rota gt3s. but my gramlight knock offs and my kosi k1 are fine

Default Agree

Even on a 5mm spacer, I'm uncomfortable with how much stud thread is left for the lugnut. I'd install longer studs. BTW, they H&R spacer kit for 5mm includes longer studs.

Just curious why you want to run a 35 offset? 42-43 is ideal, unless you have some fender modifications and/or very stiff springs.

35-38 is good for 225 in the back

Default you don't stagger tire sizes do you?

I would assume you didn't stagger tire sizes, so that 5mm spacer should do a 225/50/15 both front and rear.

That's the goal at least.

Default stagger on tight corses?

When you do stagger them, is it to get the *** end to come around on tight courses???

How does it feel compared to if you had the same size all around?

Sorry to bug, it's just interesting. I thought that stagger was only a rear drive thing.... or if you're dragging with skinnys on the back.
