Default Q: AP2 V2 w/ Spacers

I just ordered a set of Project Kics spacers in 20mm for the rears. They're going to be put on my AP2 V2 wheels with -2.6 camber. I'm not too worried about the fitment for the rears since I believe the camber is sufficient and I can adjust the ride height if needed, since I have coilovers, along with a possible rolling of fenders.

What I'm really concerned about is the front. I can't decide whether to go with the 10mm or 15m spacers. With the 15mm spacers that would bring me down to a +40 on a 17x7. Would I need to have the fronts rolled? I'm currently running the OEM RE050 215 with -1.5 camber. What about with 225's? I'm ready to dial in some more negative camber, adjust the ride height, and roll my fenders if it's absolutely necessary. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jon

just make sure its the spacers that come with built in studs and not those Pep Boys/AutoZone spacers.

No worries. I'm going to be ordering the spacers from Project Kics since they have the built in studs. At the moment, I'm leaning towards the 15mm spacers unless someone can tell me otherwise.

im not sure if the 10mm ones will work with our car. i gave some to a local to try on his s2k (for his rears) and they didnt work cause the oem studs stuck out to far and hit his wheels.

i never used them and there just sitting at his place lmk if you want to pick them up for 50 bucks... there the Kics ones too.

I've actually already ordered the spacers the other day. I went with 20mm spacers for the rear and 15mm for the front.

Well as soon as they come in, I'll see what they're like on my AP1. Going to redo the ride height and get it aligned asap too.

I tried a 15mm PK spacer with a GC07c and there was not enough space to clear the oem studs... at least not with that wheel...

Dang...wish I would've known before. Does anyone know if the 15mm spacers from Project Kics will fit the fronts with AP2's?

If I remmember right, the oem stud sticks out about 6mm over the 15mm spacer... if you have your wheels off you can check if you have room to clear that.

Or maybe someone who has one off can check?
