In one of your previous posts you told a guy he needed 2.25" spacers in front and 1.25" spacers in the back for 17x9 4th gen wheels. I figured it would be the same for 16x8, which is what I'm getting. What I'm wondering is if these are definitely the right sizes. I just don't want to order the wrong ones. I tried calling Skulte but I couldn't get through to them. Thanks for your help.

I would have to assume so, but honestly I'm not sure. Sorry.

3504mula,
I went from the stock 15x7 wheels on my RS to a 16x8 and there is no problem other than when i cut the wheel all of the way in one direction it rubs a small amount. I dont think you will have a problem or need spacers with just getting 16x8's
good luck.

Cobrakiller I believe he was talkin about using 4th gen 16" wheels, not 3rd gen wheels.
