17x8 Mille Miglia MM11's spacers needed

[SHOtime2511]

im picking up a set of 17x8 Mille Miglia MM11s soon for my track car.
from what i understand i will need spacers in the rear,what size and where is a good place to buy from? this is definitely not my area of expertise,so go easy on me

im also taking suggestions on tire size

235/45/17 or 245/45/17. Probably gonna have to work on the rear fenders a little though.

I got the same wheels and plan on doing with 235/45's and i heard that you wont have any issues with clearence

 

[AREA 91]

Ha! You should se my 19X8's!!!

yeah this is going on the track car,so if i need to trim the finder lip a little...no big deal.

I need spacers for my 93'. The rear 18x7.5" Enkei J10s sit 10-15mm too far in.

 

[SinisterSHO]

too far in? I had to roll my drivers side fender cause the very edge of the sidewall would rub if I went over a big dip.

 

[adidas_kn]

Yup too far in. The front sit even with the front fenders but the rear sit kinda far in. I am going to have the rear fender lips cut and rolled for more clearence.

No need to cut the rear fender lips...you can simply roll them to get enough clearance. Cutting may cause the inner fender to seperate from the quarter panel and lead to more problems than you'd care to deal with.

I have a pair for you if you want (actually, I have a bunch of spacer sizes on the shelf, lemme know what width you want).

I have 17x8 Milles on my current 91, no spacers up front, 3mm spacers out back (Tokicos). Ideally, you will want longer wheel studs out back. I had to trim & roll the fenders with Eibachs, and even then anything over 1/2 tank I got the occasional rub. When I had this setup on my old 91 with Gary's coilovers, I just jacked it up some to clear. Following this, I recently replaced the rear Eibachs with Gen 1 Moog Cargo Coils (new Gen 2s were same ride height, but didn't rub with a full tank, but would likely have sagged over time, FWIW)

I'm running 245/45-17 tires also.

 

[Silver95]

So whats the deal then? Will my 95 rub against the wheel wells with the milles? I will be running with Eibachs Springs too.

for a track car.. deff. go with the 245-45-17s. if you want grip that's it. and there are plenty of good comp tires in that size.

No, they should fit in the gen2 wells without a problem.

Damn you Mr. shotime2511, I really wanted those wheels.

 

[K-Dawg]

The problem is that the 42mm offset may place the tire in contact with the strut.

It is kind of a big offset I know, but did you ever test fit them?

I remember Fred fitting them on an ATX with no problems with the rear. And the fronts fit his 90 with no mod.

 

[K-Dawg]

I took these pictures. The front looks like it would probably be ok, but the rear is only like a millimeter or two off the strut tube.

[Silver95]

Are the MM11's a 42 offset? K-Dawg is this with your Kazera's?

 

[Jonny Cash]

woa momma way too close.

A 3/8-1/4" spacer, and possibly some longer studs woulda been ok Im guessing.
