THAT IS LOW..lol..i used to be that low..

if you add 20mm spacers you will definately have some damage to your fenders and rub everywhere...but its looks SICK!!!

well you've got 3 options:

1)Raise your Car
2)Add Lots of Camber to the front
3)Go with smaller size spacer in the front.
4)Or leave it as is..lol
yea I want to avoid damage to the fenders. Might have to raise the front.

I just got a really good deal locally on a set of nice 15mm spacers for use all-around (with the appropriate hub-centering already built into the spacers). The thing is, they don't have studs in them, so will I need to get extended studs installed (and thus hub disassembly)?

Yes Sir..Extended studs will be a must..10mm and above spacers will require extended studs.

You'll have to remove the rear hubs which are a PITA and you will most likely have to pick up a new bearing. Shop charge is around 150+ for such a procedure. Your way better off buying ones with integrated studs.

Alright, well apparently a good friend of a local owner has a hydraulic press that will likely do the work for a case of beer, so I'll wait and see if that's a viable option, since I wouldn't mind having extended studs regardless.

235 and 215?? Still the same answer i previously posted..You'll be fine..just fender damage is possible


i was running 245R and 215F..stock camber...25mm spacers ALL around with Neuspeed springs (about 2 inch drop..if not MORE) and i DID not rub at all..NO FENDER DAMAGE..even in the canyons...

it wasnt until i switched to coilovers and went lower..then i ended up with fender damage

what are you lowered on??
