I ran into the same issue when trying to use 10mm KICS spacers with my CE28n's. My solution was to sell the KICS spacers and pic up a set of 10mm Eibach spacers which come with studs that are ~10mm longer than stock. Remove the stock studs, replace with the longer ones. (IMO this is the "right" way to do it). The spacer is then sandwiched between the wheel and the hub on one set of studs, instead of having to deal with 2 sets of studs a la KICS type spacers. FWIW the Eibach spacers also have a centering hub/ring machined integrally into the spacer which is a nice feature.

 

I never had problems with the same setup but with sf challenge

 

It has to do with the depth of the pockets machined between the mounting pads on the backside of the wheel center. In fact the guy who sold me the KICS 10mm spacers was running SF Challenges and seemed confused when I told him about this issue, because he never ran into it with the Challenges.

 

Yeah for sure. I didn't notice until I put the wheels on. Lol

Oh well. Just giving a heads up

 

+1 and IMO any spacer 20mm and under should be a slip on style with longer studs. 25mm spacers on the other hand, you shoud just buy different wheels.

 

Thread merged.

Thanks for providing the info!

 

Did you roll your fronts as well?

I have four 31mm spacers im about to throw on for my OE Rays as well. Wondering if I'll need to roll the fronts or not or will I get away with the factory roll.

Effectively making them 18x9 -1, and 19x10 -1

235 40 F
265 40 R

 

I thought I came across a post that this exact set up will work on OEM Rays.

Can anyone confirm?

Rear - 265/35/19 with 25mm
Front - 245/40/18 with 25mm
Dropped 1.2inches all around and rear fenders rolled.

 

My fronts are factory roll, how low are you going to go in the front

 

currently lowered only about 1.3 inches up front so i think it'll fit, but if I plan on going any lower I guess a roll is needed. the factory roll isnt exactly moderate.

what do you think? you're running only 20mm up front. ill be running 31mm. yeah its a pretty thick spacer but i'm sure itll look good.

 

with such a small drop that set up will be fine. rear fenders need rolling as you stated

 

Great. Thanks Duckeee

 

You should be fine in the front, before i had 245/40 in the front on my 1.8 drop it didn't rub as bad But that was just local driving no intense driving. Not enough to bother me.

 

where do you buy 31mm spacers?

 

When you get them put on i want to see pics, get a still shot and a rolling shot if you can. Thanks Duckee

 

just ordered 38mm for the rear lets hope they clear with 18x10.5 0offset

 

i just bought silver RPF1s and coilovers for my silver 350

18x8.5 35 offset 225/45/18 front
18x9.5 15 offset 245/45/18 rear

i want my car to look like this 350 in this picture..

what size wheel spacers do i need to get, how low do i need to go, do i need to camber my car? if so do i need a camber kit?

 

i had this same question and was wondering if i had 275/30/19 or 275/35/19 in the rear with same drop/spacers if i'd be good to go with the rear fenders rolled. i'm assuming yes for either size, but i would like confirmation if possible.

 

I'm about to pick up Ichiba V2's front and back. I have stock suspension and the OEM 18" wheels. I've seen a lot of pics with 20MM fronts and 25MM backs, do you think 20MM all around would look decent? I was turning away from getting anything larger than 20MM because I'm unsure if I will be dropping the car in the distant future.

 

25mm Ichiba V2's on stock susp and OEM 18" wheels.


I don't know how this would mesh with a drop, tho I'd be interested to find out.
