I love the look of the stock wheels on my car (our cars), and I think it looks great as is, but I'd like the wheels/tires to be a little more flush with the wheel wells. Would some 5mm or 10mm spacers do the trick? Anyone have spacers currently? I'll need new tires in another year or so and when I do I'll probably jump up to 235/265 front/rear, which might help a little but I don't think it's solve it. Just looking for some input, thanks.

I love spacers.....they allow you to run a square staggered setup.
I have 15's for my rears which put me at 260 in the rear...but the rub was ridiculous. Currently running 3's up front.

I run 10mm up front when I have the ZHP wheels on. No rubbing, not even with the blocky winter tires.

You might. You dropped your front down pretty far.
Worth a try though.

So for a stock setup, 10mm fronts and 15mm rears would do the trick? Or should it be 10mm all around?

My winter ET50 M68 staggered rears are running on 10mm spacers. ET40 seems to be totally fine with my car that is lowered more than stock ZHP ride height. I know my summer ET45's are completely fine. I'm going to try ET45+10mm=ET35 for the rear when I find an in-stock source of Conti DW tires!

Sounds like a good plan, I'll wait for some more feedback on that by someone more knowledgeable than I, but I think 10mm all around would work nicely. Now I need to price some out, spacers are spacers right?Originally Posted by pyreguy

I'm a fan of the ECS Tuning spacers.
