Spacers for Winter

Django · 09-06-2009, 09:32 PM

Hey all. I'm going to run style 188s for winter. Anyone have any good recommendations for spacers. I hate how "tucked in" they look.

I would recommend getting a tape measure and seeing how much clearance you have between the sidewall of your tire and the fender liner. A recommendation from someone with the same wheel may vary due to the tire width/roundness as well as vehicles alignment.

I am going to run 15mm spacers back on a 18inch wheel. Most of the people i know are running that setup on a coupe.

Go with what Charles @ VMR says, just measure the clearance and go with the accompanied spacer to fill that gap up.

We suggest that customers stay a few MM's under the maximum measurement to prevent any rubbing issues. But once you measure, you should have an idea of what size will work out best. Our selection of wheel spacers and bolts can be found here on the website for your application:

I too hate the "tucked in" look, but I leave my rears tucked in so I don't shread my rear 1/4 panels with all the road debrie during the winter. Fronts I run H&R 5mm due to my offset not being enought to clear my c/o's.

Good points, thanks. I'm just going to miss my 19s regardless!

20mm spacers on the rears of my 162s. Eibach spacers - the kind that mount to your hub first and then you mount your wheel to the spacer using your regular lug bolts. I have ZSP. More pictures: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=296952
