I am running 18.8 with a 48 offset, I am told that if I plan to lower my ride I will need 5mm spacers on the fronts. Currently I have no plans to lower my ride all though everyone tells me to drop it.

My fronts will rub without spacers, that is what I am told by Canuck82.

I am a newb to the world of tuning.

That is one thing I have not looked into just yet, I am undeceided as to drop my car or not.

Someone here must know more then me when it comes to this stuff.

u'll rub ... not sure how much but in the front u'll rub a bit for sure ... might take u hitting a dip in the road or someting but it will happen.

Cornizzy · 02-07-2007, 07:46 PM

so if i was to get the spacers? i wont rub?

**sickyute** · 02-07-2007, 08:32 PM

i always thought spacer pushed the tires out further ... if that's the case u'll rub even more ...

yes, but with a +48, the wheels is further in the fender
so with a 3mm spacers you'll recentered the wheel almost as oem (with 1/2'' more each side)

I have a set of 17x8 +48 but I didnt installed them yet because of winter right here.... I'll probably need a set of 3mm spacers

My buddy just bought spacers for his Evo cause he was rubbing too. They cost him $6 dollers a spacer so $12 bucks for the front. Im not sure who wanted the price but there ya go.

i was running 18x8.50 with a 35 mm offset and the only time it rubbed was with a full car and a big ass dip in road my current setup is 20x8.50 with a 35mm offset and they dont really rub at all so u shouldnt have a problem

Would spacers be likely to break under hard abuse like autocrossing?
