Default OE Wheels with 5mm spacers?

If I run the OE wheels with H&R 5MM spacers, would I have any problem with rubbing if I ran a 265 Kumho or Hoosier on the rear? I'm 100% stock suspension wise.

why are you running the spacers? I think you might on the outside if you don't roll the fender.

Hypothetical. Not running anything yet. It would be to increase the rear track slightly. I'm trying to ascertain whether or not I can run a 265 or should I stick to the 245. I don't want to roll my fenders or modify anything.

These are pretty small spacers... I'll have to experiment.

yeah 5mm = ~ 1/4" I've run them in the back to deal w/ rubbing on my slicks. I never needed spacers for 275 hooisers on stock wheels and I know spfinktermc ran 265 kumhos w/o spacers.

Keith,

for spacers I'd reccoment the H&Rs. They make one with a bore specific to the s2k. I hope to have them listed shortly in the marketplace.

Are there any possible disadvantages with runnign spacers even if it's only 5mm? I've heard about ruining the car's scrub radius, wearing out the wheel bearings, and other things...
