What is the biggest spacer on OEM wheels and tires someone here has installed?

Rephrasing a previous post, I believe the max size this car allows is 17.5mm at the front and 15mm in the back?

Can a vendor or someone here confirm what the biggest is?

I'd like to know so that I can figure out what the max tire width is that I can run on this car by sticking 11m spacers on the front and back.


Thinking 285/295 or 295 all around.

It would depends on are you lowering it or not?
Lowered with M550 spring, max 18mm front, 11mm or 12mm rear.
Tire wise, be careful on the front and rear ratio since it is AWD. You don't want to damage the transfer case.

Hey, no lowering is being done. Do you think it’s 18 and 15 with the stock suspension? I imagine a square setup (since winter tire packages available with this) or a 285/295 setup shouldn’t cause any harm.

If you are not lowered, I would do 11 all around with 285 square.

Do you think I can do 285/35/20 Sport Cup 2's all around with 11's everywhere?

Keep in mind Sport cup 2s are +1s and so 285s are really 295s width with the profile of a 285.

Thanks!

Not lowered will be fine.
May need to go lower than 11mm on the rear then, or maybe none.

Will try 12mm front, 11mm rear with these 285s (actually 295) and see what happens. Thanks!
