| I run 4+3 all around with 1" spacers in the rear. Greatly increases stability over stock. My track is 55 1/2" in the front and 58 1/2" in the rear. Stock is 53 1/2 all around. | |

| 5 + 2 on all 4 corners. 1" spacer front, 1.5 on the rear. Turning is a little harder but the ride is more stable. | |

| I ran 5+2 up front - and 2+5 in the rear... no spacer.
great stance and stability - little bump steer.
If you are thinking this way - let the wheel do it - bypass the spacer. If you have wheels already - then pick up a used set of spacers and play with it. | |

On a 5.0+2.0 offset, it will measure from the inside of the rim to the face of the wheel center 5 inches. And from the face of the wheel center to the outside of the rim 2 inches. | |
