12 mm spacers

Looking to upgrade to 4s tires with 12 mm eibach spacers.

Can anybody offer advice as to whether these will rub?

I have 265 MPSC2 up front and had to put 12 mm spacers so the 6 pot brakes wouldn't rub. They are fine. I could drop back to 10 mm, but only had 12 at the time.

Have 305's on rear. The 15mm looked stupid and hung out. So not running any on rear at present. Maybe a 5mm would be plenty and drop fronts to 10 mm.

I've got 20inch 666 ZCP wheels.

I guess will have to try it out.

Fitting 12mm spacers all around without lowering the car will cause the front to stick out from the guard. The rear will fine.

I fitted 12mm ECS spacers to mine prior to dropping and experiencing this first hand. Now i'm dropped and it's perfectly tucked.

Wouldn't mind lowering but I just love the ride with the American EDC settings. Just perfect !

In all honesty, stock Comp Pack I thought was harsh.

Adding H&R springs made it a little harsher - 10-15%.

US coding made it feel like stock. Lower it - so much better!

Stuart is fitting the oem carbon front lip and oem carbon splitters on Friday.

Without lowering I can getaway without scraping. With lowering it’s just to bloody stressful! Although I much prefer the look.
