Lowered on 19's with spacers

R2M3 · 04-24-2009, 03:05 PM

For those of you with the stock 19's, with spacers, on lowering springs, do you experience any rub at all? I want to run 15mm all the way around with the RD springs and I have the stock 19's. Should I stay with H&R springs and run a 12mm in the rear?

Thanks for any input

IMO you should be fine with RD and 15mm spacers, i think that would look nice. But i think u might rub a little if you have people sitting in the back seat...

Hi,

I have 19's. I'm lowered on KwV3's with 20mm front and 12mm rear spacers. With just me and my GF in the front there's no rubbing at all but with someone in the backseat I rub on every freeway joint bridge.

20mm in the front! Seems to me 20mm would be out past the fender, is it? BTW, where can I get the RD springs?

Thanks for the feedback

i don't see how 20mm in the front can work i've tried and i can't make even make a U turn 15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear works just fine.

I got 19" with 15mm spacers all the way around and H&Rs, not rubbing whatsoever.

I have 15mm rear 18mm front spacers, and I want to get RD Sport springs. Will I rub with people in the back? Without people in the back? Front or rears?

Same question as above post but I have zcp back with 18/15 mm spacers? Which spring to use please help want to order asap

Really depends on the tire. Some tires have a squarer shoulder that is more prone to rubbing than tires with rounder tires. Also, certain brands of tires are actually wider than others, for exactly the same size.

In my experience, P Zeros are quite square. And also quite wide. There's a rub/no rub reference thread with lots of different setups for comparison.
