15” ET37 Toliman - spacers

Post by T25Convert »

Hello, seen some cheap cheap cheap Tolimans - the 15” et37 ones.

So from wiki and search I know I need a 5mm spacer on the front, but what is not clear is what I need on the back?

Any wise people on here who know??

You may not need the spacer on front. Will all depend on tyre choice. 195 or 205 you may get away with it, 215 up and spacers may be needed.
Rear is a little more forgiving and I think you will be ok without.

I thought that is also depending on the width of the wheel? You can't go to wide with the rear wheels, otherwise the sliding door wil touch the wheel.

Yes, but in this case we are talking specifically about the 15” et37 tolimans which are 15x7”

Low offset wheels on the rear, especially as they get a little wider will stick out more and potentially foul the door.

Plenty of good offset calculators out there which allow you to input original wheel diameter, width and offset and compare with your desired wheel. Will give how much more/less inner clearance and outward poke.
