    What size spacers for 1st gen rims on 2nd gen VR4?

    I have a set of stock 1st gen VR4 rims here that have good tires. Does anyone know the smallest spacer that will allow them to fit on a 2nd gen?

    Just fit washers to each stud and test fit till you work out the minimum thickness. Then go buy a spacer to match.

    +1 I know someone that was so lazy they just used washers instead of a spacer with no issues. YMMV, and I certainly don't suggest it.

    Yeah I could figure it out pretty easily, I just figured someone had the answer already.
