continue to run spacers with winter set up

frankiebones · 11-01-2018, 01:15 PM

i have 437 19s with MP HAS at recommended height. MS 15F 12R.

I am switching to a 640M winter wheel package in a few weeks. Continue to run my spacers?

I had the same thoughts when putting mine on this weekend. I have an 18inch BBS wheel running a 245 all around. I left the spacers on and it seems fine so far.

My thought with this is just to save the paint a bit - take the spacers off so tires are are more in the wheel wells and less likely to kick up cinders/sand down the side and onto the hips of the car. Winter tires are really good at picking up and tossing that stuff because of the sipes and softer compound.

I run spacers all year except when winters go on.
