Hi all,

I want to space my standard MY04 wheels out, just don't know how much by. Got Meister R coilovers and don't want it to rub. Rear wheels 15mm or 20mm?

Best thing you can do is to get in there with a tape measure and see how much free space you've got to play with between wheel/tyre & arch. In my opinion, it's better to space a little less and not damage arches or tyres by going too far.

Hey thanks rob. Your probably right better be safe than sorry. I think I might have enough space for 20mm but I really don't want to damage anything.

I have little under 30mm but I do have some camber on the rear too. I'm going to order the spacers and invidia q300 tonight. Jay

Here is a good thread on standard wheels spaced.

https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/668...p2-oem-wheels/

Some lovely results and makes me think about what I want for my car. Are you going 20mm front and back? Let us know how you got on.

Thanks beato. I think I will stick with 15mm all round. I want to change the wheels to RPF1's at some point. It'll be better than having to raise the car. Nah I am thinking 15mm all round
