j0nathanl3e, what size hub centric rings are you using? Are they Project Kics 67mm bore?

Thanks.

I can't remember off the top of my head, but that sounds about right. I'll check for you in the morning since they're off of my car. Bought some new wheels, so I have no need for these spacers or the wide centering rings.

 

15mm spacers will increase track by ~2%. While that should improve cornering capability enough that a consistent driver might see a slight decrease in lap times, it's not anything you'd notice on the street. However, the increased scrub radius is quite noticeable on my car with 45mm offset wheels (equivalent to 10mm spacers).

Personally, I'd rather go with higher offsets and wider wheels/tires than spacers and/or "aggressive offsets" with necessarily narrower tires.

 

[QUOTE=ZDan,Jun 17 2008, 02:51 AM] 15mm spacers will increase track by ~2%.

 

So, stock AP2 wheels are 17x7.0 +55 Front and 17x8.5 +65 Rear. The pictures look like the front may be able to use a 20mm spacer as well as the tire still looks a bit more tucked in compared to the rear. Anybody think this will work? Basically a 17x7.0 +35 in the front and 17x8.5 +45 in the rear on stock 215/245 tires with a lowered stance similiar to j0nathanl3e's car?

Thank you.

 

j0nathanl3e, also what size tires are your running? Are those stock 215/245?

 

at the time of the picture, they were OEM 215/245.

 

So, do you think a 20mm would be able to clear the front? Also did you have to roll your rear fenders? I know most people have to roll on 9 +45 but I think 8.5 +45 should barely clear especially with 245.

 

20mm on the fronts will probably cause a slight bit of rubbing, nothing horrible. I didn't have to roll my rears with the 245's. As long as you've got a decent amount of negative camber, you should be fine. I didn't rock the spacers for too long though. I picked up a set of Advans to replace them.

 

im interested in seeing spacers with the stock ap1 wheels
