Default Question about track wheels and being low

I have an 03 lowered on Eibach Sportlines, so I am nearly tucked front and rear.

I bought some 20mm spacers for the front and 25mm spacers for the rear. But now that I took a test fit I don't think I will be able to get the 25mm in the rear with out hitting the fender lip.

I am trying to avoid fender mods so what would be my best bet to make them fit and not look sunken and wack. I also don't want to run an neg camber because I don't want to be burning tires.

Is anyone this low with track wheels and spacers? If so, what size and what else was done?

I am running a 265/35 in the rear, I'd hate to run stretched tires....

I know about the spacer thread and I have seen other run 30mm spacers in the rear and 25 up front, but they weren't as low as me.

Any suggestions?

Roll your rear fenders. You can't even tell if you do it right.

I was lower than you and I was using 245/45 tires on my track wheels with a 30mm spacer and rolled fenders. (stock camber)

Since you have bigger tires, id use a 20mm or 25mm spacer and roll your fenders. You might be able to get away with a 15mm spacer and avoid rolling your fenders if it really matters.

Take this advice.

you cant have your cake and eat it too.............you need to roll your fenders......


if you want the flush look, with those tires, then you need to roll the fenders, done and done.....

The alternatives are:

1. Get new tires - costly??? might as well roll the fenders.
2. Camber - you dont want that?
3. thinner spacer - but you will get sunken look.....
