Should I get one like 3mm or 5mm to be safe or would this be ok?

the wheel is a 18x9.5 +22 CE28n

That's a tight fit! Either way it'll look awesome!

Anyone have a clue on what the largest spacer you can put on the factory BBS wheels would be?

Thanks!!

^^to make them sit flush you would want a 10mm.

project kics.

shit i didn't realize how skinny the X wheels are, you would want a fatter spacer than 10mm haha, 10mm work on the CT9A. fml. i wouldn't go any bigger than 15mm spacers on any hub though...

damn that sits so close... i've seen a AS evo ct9a at some of the cruise/meets rolling close like that. as long as its not touching then its fine, but maybe a 3mm spacer wouldn't hurt to try out.
