Hi,I made a stupid mistake and hope someone can help me.

I bought a new set of (06+)SI rims, and would like to put it on my 07-EX. However, when I put it on my car, I noticed that they have different offsets since the front calipers are hitting the back of the rims a little bit. I heard SPACERS can be used to resolve this problem, but I don't know anything about spacers. I know they are cheapfor this little piece of metals...I am not sure what size of spacersdo I need....or can i just installthe spacers in the front only? what will happen if i do that? Hope I can get some comments from people in here.

I think 06+ EX has 55 offsets and 06+SI has 45, am I right?

I might want to sellthe SI rimsand buy another set if the spacers are costing me so much $ and trouble to install.

Thanks!!

 

I would say most any tire/parts store could order you a set. I can't imagine they would be too high, probably around $50 bucks or so, give or take a few.

I would suggest putting them on both front and rear though, you would probably have either handling or tire ware issues if you only did it to one, plus they might look funny depending on how large of spacer you bought.

Just explain the situation to your local tire/wheel dealer there and see if someone can get the set you need.
