^^ I am running 15mm front and 17mm rears and about a 1 finger gap all around 225/255s and the rear definitely rubs on highway bumps. The front used to rub on highway bumps specifically on the inner liner plugs that hold the fender liner in. I just removed the plugs they were hitting and it doesn't rub now. I'm trying to avoid rolling the rears as rolling the quarter panels is irreversible. If you are ok with rolling anyways you might as well do it for peace of mind.

I have pics of mine a few pages back if you want an example. Once you bolt them on you're not gunna want to remove them.


Edit: I'm on my phone but here's what it looks like
This is perfect - what kind of tires are you using? Do you think that if both fronts and rears are rolled either will still rub?
Pretty sure those are Hankook V12

^^ hey those are hankook v12s. And if you we're rolled all around you can clear it super easy. The backs barely hit when they do rub without a roll so you should be good if you roll. I do think star specs run wider for some reason though so it might be a bit closer.

Hey everyone!

i have +15 front and +25 rear. I believe my fenders are rolled and flared/pulled (judging by putting my car next to a stock s) i have Michelin Pilot Sports 245/40 in the rear and 215/45 in the front. Im looking to either get +25 spacers for the front or to find 2 ap2v1 rears. What would you all suggest?

Pictures Below!

Does anyone know if the 5mm H&R Spacers ( rear only ) come with extended studs...if they do, is a wheel bearing change required upon changing to the longer studs ??

Thanks.

Just wondering do you guys plan on running spacers permanently? and how often do you check the lugs on the spacers?

No, they do not. You don't need longer studs with 5mm.

But it won't be hubcentric which I'm not comfortable with. Out of interest, what is the maximum size you can run with the standard studs and nuts?

I would think anything from 3-5mm is probably the maximum with stock studs... I believe Option Select has hub centric 5mm spacers..

From what I understand, 5 is the limit.
