20mm spacers (issues)

[teamshock nick]

Hi,

Picking what size spacers to get.

Stock suspension.

Just had a look at a youtube video, 20's all round looked great.

But im leaning towards 15 front 20 rear.

Has anyone had issues with 20's all round? Rubbing?

Specifically on standard suspension.

That's (1) hell of a spacer…

12F / 10R is what I have when 666m are on.

15F / 15R is aggressive but several members run w/o issue.

Search the forums & YouTube. Plenty of information available about this topic.

I ran 18mm all around lowered on h&r supersports. As long as my kids weren't in the back it was fine. I would get a slight rub on big bumps(NYC/LI) with them in the back.

I would not do 20 all around.

here is 20 mm spacers all the way around. Lowered on KW V3 coilovers with a factory alignment.

at this ride height, the front left tire rubs slightly right where the front bumper meets the fender if i hit a sharp bump really hard at speed. otherwise no issues.

with the factory suspension/normal ride height, you might find that 20 mm spacers poke the wheels out a little too much, but lowered it looks perfectly flush and amazing.

Thanks guys, looks amazing on the lowered car but thats not top of my list at the moment.

Think i might go for 15f/18r and see how i get on

I think you will be happy with that. There is something with the camber I think on a lowered car that makes it look different. 15mm front will stick out further than that pic above on stock suspension. I run 15/15 and I am happy with it but 12/12 would probably be better. Attached is a pic on 15mm front and rear on stock suspension.

That's changed my mind, yours sits perfectly! May go 15's all round!

Interesting... never thought 15/15 would stick out like that in the front. I lowered my car, installed 15/15 spacers and got an alignment all at once.

I feel like mine might stick out more than others for some reason. Everyone says they do more in the front than back but my car feels like it needs less in the front and more in the back. 12mm front 15mm back is perfect for me.

How did the 15’s all around go?

What wheels are you running with 15f 15r?

15 and 20 look too aggressive even on lowered cars. I guess I’m not a fan of super flush or poke out wheel look. Stock wheels with 12 mm spacers looks decent. I’m running on my F82 HRE R101LW dark brushed finish in 19x9.5et22 (265/35) and 19x11et42 (305/30). Would not consider going another mm more aggressive.

Nice, did you end up switching to 12mm spacers?
