  • Spacers?

    Wheels will be aristo's. I have the option between running 20mm rear and 10mm front which from ECS Costs 215 before shipping or 15mm rear and 5mm front for 165 before shipping. Does the cost saving warrant a smaller spacer? Thanks

    We're talkin a difference of like $50. Get the exact stuff you want. If you end up choosing option B just because of cost and it ends up looking ugly you will be slapping yourself on a daily basis.

      well the big thing is I've also seen 20mm on the back with aristos and it looks hella flush yo. Maybe even a little sticky outy. I plan on getting koni fsd and eibach pro kit springs which will lower about 1.2" all around. So I don't want to rub either.

        Tire brand and size will also dictate the look or "flushness" you are searching for!

          I have 8mm front and 15mm rear (337 RC's) and my rear rubs once and a while. I'm lowered about 2.1" but suspect you'd be OK with teh FSD kit. I also have spare 8mm hub centric spacers if you're interested.

              Let me double check that I have bolts tonight. You need ball seat right?

                You won't rub no matter how much you space your tires if you are only lowering 1.2" fyi. I would go 10/20, I ran 15/20 last season and I'm going up to 20/30 this year. The bigger the better, usually :P

                    Which 8mm spacers are they btw? They have two models and the original model won't work on the fronts, only the rears

                      That's true, but without enough drop, having poke and/or stretch looks funny IMO. The spacers are H&R with the flange. I ended up getting two sets by mistake but they for sure work on the fronts... they have the hubcentric lip. How about $80 for the spacers and bolts? PM me if you're interested.
