+38 offset in front, what size adapter?
Anyone used a +38 offset wheel before for the front (17x7)? I just got mine and wondering what adapter I should use, 1" sound good? Thanks!
My wheels are XXR 962s, oh and +35 for rear 17x9, will it be a flush fitment?

When I had 17x7 Z33 wheels with +30 on the front, I used a 1" adapter to get flush. I would think 1.25" adapters would be better for a +38 offset

35mm spacer will get you close to flush. That's an awfully thick spacer though.
25mm will get you close to flush on the back. I recently ordered a set of 17x9 et17 wheels, and I expect to run a 10mm spacer out back at least. -

I've bought 17 X 9 R and 17 X 8 front BBS wheels two weeks ago.
Offset is +38 also, bought 32MM (1,25'') spacer. I should sit pretty damn flush in the back, and a little inside in front.
Get them to 0 offset and it should be right. Don't expect 17 x 7 to be perfect flush though, you would need negative offset to get that.

Does anyone have any link or source on where I can get good quality adapters? Thanks!

I use IChiba hubcentric adapters. They are found on ebay.
Id buy something that you can simulate wheel spacers on your car. I went to pepboys and bought their cheap 8mm wheel spacers (not for driving). Then I put them together and mounted my tire as best I can, then put a load on the arm to see if it will rub.
I was running a +20 offset, bought a 20mm spacer. Worked out. But I think I can go 8mm more and it will be super flush.My Build Thread -

Thanks, I suppose it's the 6" material?

Getting 1.25" for front and 1" for rear, how does that sound? :-D

Do you have the wheels or not?
Simply install them and use a tape. You should be able to tell exactly what you need. Get the closer available spacer from your mesure and call it a day. It's not complex at all, just make sure hub bore is fine.

Also the tire size may have an impact on what spacer you run also. Azbum has good info on his site for a conservative spacer.My Build Thread
