What Wheel Spacers Should I Get?
 
What would be the best wheel spacer sizes for a set of 18x9 wheels with +34 offset and 235/50 tires. +34 offset on a 9" wide wheel would be about 6.25 backspace right?
Thanks!

6.34" of BS, close enough.

i would say shoot to make the wheels zero offset, 5" of bs, so a 1.34 or closest spacer.

Well if I had to choose between a 1.25" or 1.5", which would work best? The 1.5" spacers would make the wheels stick out farther right?
Thanks 100!

Unfortunately yes I have stock brakes. Does that effect anything?

1le and aftermarket brake kits move the wheel out 1/3" or more, so it does make a difference is clearance is close

Well in that case I suppose it would be better to get the 1.25" so there is room if I upgrade my brakes later on. Yes?

im running 17 by 9.5 with 54mm of bs up front with 275 40 17 with a 2 inch spacer up front due to my wheel resting on the lip on the front strut. rear is 18 by 10.5 with 58mm of bs and 305 35 18's. if this helps. i used 1.5 on my fronts and they didnt work like everyone told me they would. i went through 4 sets of spacers.
