Trying to help my buddy with a question he had...
He has a SN-95 with 18x8.5 wheels. He added 25mm spacers out back which got his wheels flush with the fender.
He now has 18x7.5 wheels out back...what size spacer would be needed to get the wheels back (or close to) being flush with the fender?
Also, if he was to switch his wheels to a fox body, how big of a spacer would be needed to get the same set of wheels flush with the fender of a fox?
Thanks alot guys.

The wheels he had were stolen.
He was able to get his hands on a free set of wheels which were 18x7.5. He also has a set of 25mm spacers...
But he was wondering what size spacer would be needed to bring the wheel back flush with the fender like his previous set was.

it depends on the offset of the 7.5's. Without that theres no way to tell.. Just throw the 7.5s on the 25 mil spacers and measure with a tape measure to the fender. Probably at least a 33 mil spacer to get back to where he was maybe bigger.
