Default Pics and questions





So i just recently put my coilovers on. Before, I had a 30mm spacer on the rears because of the not so great offset of my wheels. They are Work Emotion 11R with +30 offsets. Once I lowered it, I was rubbing. What size spacer should i switch to if i do not want to roll my fenders? The chance of cracking my paint when rolling them really makes me not want to go that route.

thanks for the help,

Chris

25mm spacers , if you want to run 30mm spacers you will need to roll your fenders and probably a slight pull. if you don't have a camber kit try getting one and running some negative camber with the 30mm spacers and see if you still rub.

Thanks man, I have a rear camber kit on it, just got it aligned yesterday actaully. Id rather have less camber for the sake of my tires and go with a slightly smaller spacer. So i guess I try out a 25mm spacer and see how that goes.

Measure the distance from the tire to the fender... Then decide how much you want to push the wheel out...

Just measure, don't ask me how lol it's going to cost a bit to test fit different spacers, if you go that route.

Personally, I think it would look great with slightly bigger wheels to fit the wheel wells better

Davidv has a few nice charts on spacers/offsets. Hopefully he'll see this thread and post in it.

They are 18x8.5 +30. i like the look, just wish i would have known more about offset at the time. Anyways, nothing i can do now other than get rid of them or work with spacers.

And yea, wouldnt want Davidv to miss out on another post.

As for more picture, ill take some later. Its just a stock front bumper right now. I was looking into the N1 or the V2 front to get eventually. The rear is a Invidia g200 exhaust with a bumper tuck.

Thanks guys
