Please help me out wheel setup gurus.

Heres my setup.

PIAA super rozzas 19x9 and 19x10. +25 all around

im dropping with tanabe nf( 1.2 inch drop) and an sbc camber kit.

Should i go with 10mm (+15) spacers all around or 15mm (+10)?

I think my math is right , correct me if i am wrong , this is all new to me.

I want an aggressive look without really affecting performance...unless its for the better.

Your advice is appreciated

 

my tires are 275/35 and 245/35

 

best advice ever:

proper sized wheels + proper offsets = no need for spacers at all

 

Are you planning to roll your rear fenders? If not, then you need to figure out how far you can push the wheels out before the tire hits the fender lip. I would suggest installing your springs and your camber kit and getting and alignment to the specs (particularly camber) that you want to run. Then go to the hardware store and see if you can find washers that are ~1mm thick with at least 12mm hole so they will fit over your studs. Buy enough to stack on three studs, with the maximum expected spacer (let's say 15mm) per stud. Then you can play around with differing amounts of washers to see where your wheel ends up. When you find the stance you want, measure the entire stack of washers on the lug and use that measurement as a gauge for the spacer thickness you want to buy. I suggest this just because chances are good that the washers you buy won't be exactly a millimeter increment in thickness, so by the time you stack a bunch up the total thickness might be different than what you expect.

I always wanted to use spacers with those wheels but never got around to it. Be sure to post pics when you get everything installed.

 

I have similar specs on my wheels with a similar drop using Eibach Sportlines
1.2" drop all around - 19x9 +15 & 19x10 + 25 respectively (245/35 & 275/35).

Front you can go with a 10mm spacer no prob and it should be flush. I do recommend removing the top screw under the lip of the fender that holds the inner liner in place because you will rub it on bumps. You really do not need that screw there.

Rear you're going to have to roll the fender with a 10mm spacer and higher. I just put on a 15mm spacer and it looks great. Given my camber I might have been able to push a 20mm spacer but it's close as is.

It really helps with the over all look of the car and I feel that the rear suffers from less roll in turns.

Good Luck.

 

This is going to be mind blowing:



If you have your wheels mounted, then it's very easy to see what size spacer you want/need for the look you are going for. Walk up to your car with a ruler, see how many MM you would like to pull your wheel outward. Take into account suspension compression during turns and dips. Order appropriately sized spacer. Viola!

Not to be an ***, but there really isn't anything to it. I can understand if you're not knowledgeable on widths, offsets, and tire sizing, and are looking to order wheels, but if you have them mounted and know what a millimeter is, there really just isn't an excuse.

Also, don't think you can go slam a corrected +10 (or even +15) wheels without doing fender mods. The guys you see using these wheels have either rolled fenders, cut fenders, pulled fenders, or a combination of the 3 to achieve these fitments w/o viciously rubbing everywhere, or are deaf and don't realize they are rubbing severely.

 

haha yeah , im cutting my fenders. im going to do the washer thing.. ill just get the springs and all done first then worry about spacers. i was going to just do it all at once.

 

they are proper sized , piaa makes them a little less aggressive than i would like , nothing i can do about that.

 

currently

 

Got any pics?

 

True. I suggested using the washers because while it is a lot more effort than using a ruler, it does give an accurate representation of how the wheel will actually look once the spacers are installed. The other thing to look at is once you get the top of the tire where you want it with respect to the fender, where does that leave the bottom of the tire. Some people might not prefer to have the bottom half of the tire sticking way out beyond the rear bumper, either for looks or because they will be more likely to throw stones against the side of the bumper while driving, etc.

 

I agree with where you are coming from...if measuring isn't enough then sure, throw some washers on if you are a serious visual person. Obviously this method will only work for small spacers though, the stock studs are only so long and I would want at least a couple of threads even for just holding my car while not moving. Even still, if you push the limits with this method you risk stripping your studs. I dislike replacing studs, very much!
