Default Wheel Spacers

I'm running AP2 V2s and thinking about getting some 15 mm wheel spacers for some sortaflushness. I have about a 1.5 finger gap all around with 225 front and 255 rear. I don't want to rub at all and I'm thinking I'm going to have to get the fenders rolled and pulled to run the spacers but is it a must? Anybody?

If you get 15mm spacers you'd have to install longer studs as well, which I've read are a total PITA to do. Go with 25mm spacers all around, they come with built in studs and it will look amazing! You'd need to get all four fenders rolled though so that you wouldn't rub, but it'll be worth it IMO. Rolling the 4 fenders would run $120.

Just on Skunk springs..

Those 25mms do look amazing. I might go that route and just roll the damn fenders.

Rears are actually 235 remember. :-) Get those Spacers and go 25mm! Theres a thread somewhere all about running stock rims with spacers. I used to have the link saved but cant find it now. It looks really nice in the rears with a 255 and a 20-25mm spacer in the rear.

I love the look too ... and considering the same thing.


I believe that picture is of Metcalfe's car. If it isn't ... it's an exact copy. Try PM'ing Metcalfe and see what spacers he ran. I think I remember him saying he ran spacers without have to roll his fenders or run a crazy offset.



EDIT: Metcalfe is in Tampa and once worked for LHT
