Do the spacers affect anything on the handling of the car?

Which thickness of spacers should I use on front and back?

Links to purchase would be much appreciated.

15mm Front and 12mm rear is the perfect combination.

I did this and have rubbing on back with 3 passengers in rear

No sir

This is interesting and thanks for letting us know about the rubbing. I’m not lowered (yet) and was going to do 15F/12R until you mentioned rubbing in the rear.
Do you think going 2-3mm thinner in rear would prevent any rubbing?

Same thing. I don't want a to run. Maybe 10mm rear

Do you have the EU plastic wheel arches on your car?
Removing them might get you some more clearance.

I like the thicker/taller tire set up. No rubbing with the 15/12 set up?

You won't rub with a lowered 15/12 setup. I'm lowered with 17/11 Dinan spacers and no rubbing issues.

You have the OEM wheel set up?

I have the exact same setup (not lowered) 15mm front / 12mm rear with 295s on the back and 285 on the front but tires stick out a tiny bit, not fully flushed with the fenders. Wonder why?

josec70 · 04-30-2024, 09:32 PM

Since he’s lowered, it is probable he had an alignment performed and tucked the wheels slightly w/ negative camber.

The owner’s a friend and he’ll more than likely respond to confirm.

I’m on 21” wheels, KW V4’s and 295-285 Michelin PS4S and had an alignment performed after the coilovers settled .. I was able to tuck slightly inside the fender for a more flush look.

Ahh that makes sense, maybe I need an alignment as well, but honestly I kinda like that they stick out a bit, it looks super aggressive but mostly concerned if I hit a big bump and possibly rubbing right on the edge and destroying my fenders and tires
