Ha im riding a 215/40/18 on Eibach Springs no rub ceptin front on deep dips but i got my rear fenders rolled and they are 18x8 so a lil wide for our front end.

Pics of you guy's 18's? Too much rim for me, but I'm interested to see. Seen pics of an 07 Sedan on 20's...that was funny.

I will for sure measure once I get my rims.

I will get them made out of aluminum.

I think the easiest way would be to use plate and laser cut

I have seen some wheel spacers that also have machined edges.
but I will just deburr it nicely. I think that will be good enough for what I need it to do.

hopefully I won't have to do anything, this wheel was off a lowered civic BTW.

You can buy hub-centric wheel spacers in 5mm-10mm for like 25 bucks now. Alluminum.

I don't think this will cost much.
