Just to clarify... you guys state side still talk in total track width with regards spacers right?

So 20mm spacer is 2x10mm...

No, most people here talking about a 20mm spacer would be 20mm on that wheel, 40mm total track width.

As far as others are concerned, I have been driving my 18mm Front/20mm Rear spacers on AP2V1's for a while now and it still appears a bit sunken in both Front/Rear. Could probably run 25mm all the way around without any extra work but I'm happy with how this is, only a winter setup after all.

For reference:


Fenders are even with the top of the tire all around, 24" Fender to Ground.

Thanks for clarifying... I had a feeling that was the case but over here H&R sell their kits by total track width (just to confuse the issue further.)

Providing no one has had any bad experience with the quality of the option selects by the time i order mine I will probably go that route and have shipped from the US anyway... the seem to be made from the same material as the project kids stuff?

What is the perfect spacer size without need fender rolling to CR with stock tire (215/45/17)front &(255/40/17)rear and eibach pro-kit lowering spring?
I'm running 15mm all around on stock CR size tires, and my fenders aren't rolled (lowered on Tanabe GF210 springs). Pretty sure 15mm is the limit, as I rub just slightly in the rear on bumps.
Any camber? I think buy 10mm H&R drs all around!

Read through all 36 pages, nice work guys!

I need some input. I have springs on the car as of now, but I plan on buying coil overs next. I am going to roll the fenders and also will be getting the rear bumper tabs relocated. I have AP2V1's with stock tire sizes, what would be the recommended size spacers for me, without having to pull the fenders? I've been leaning more with 15F, 20R.

I think one thing people don't factor in when discussing wheel fitment or in this case spacer use is camber. Someone else might have the same springs, same tire size, same wheel and same spacer, but have different overall fitment when it comes to fender clearance due to camber. My car is lowered on tein s techs but I got my alignment redone to US spec. There is no way I could run 20mm without rolling and relocating the rear fender tab. Others have the same set up and didn't have to roll at all. It's hard comparing what you got to someone else because you have no idea what their camber setting is

I read this thread and have come to the common conclusion that with ap2v1's, 15mm front's and 20mm rear's are "safe" and not overkill. But most people are running springs or aren't slammed.

This is about how low I want to be with coilovers, with the same stance as him. He ran +25mm(F) and +32mm(R) but the fenders look like they have to be pulled. If I want to be that low and run a +15mm(F), do I have pull my fenders? I know negative camber will allow the fenders to not be pulled, but the more negative camber you add on an unstretched tire, the more it looses the "flush" look. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Edit: using stock tire size's btw.
