Eibach pro kit spring, 205/40/17 +42. do u guys think this will rub? Thanks for helping..

 

nope, wont even be close.

 

thanks! im on megans. nothing is flattering taken with a cam phone at night lol. nice runnin into you the other night

 

Buddy Club N+ Coilovers



I will be going lower in the front too very soon.

 

ayyeeeeeeeeeee

 

Ok sir. Thanks again. How bout if loaded with 400 to 500lbs? Still wonr rub?

 

yea, assuming that's about the weight of 3 average men..or you and a couple chubby hunnies in your car, it still shouldnt rub with a x7 +42.

 

^ how bout 38 or 40 offset sir?

 

2 or even 4mm wont make a diff at all in that sizing.

 

Slowly getting there. Here's how she sits now.




Lowered on Swift Springs. 15mm spacers on the rear wheels. Planning on getting either Rota grids +38 or Rota g-force +35.

 

do you have extended studs? i was under the impression that anything more than 10mm doesnt leave enough thread on oem studs

 

Didnt get extended studs. The spacers I used are bolt on spacers that bolt onto the original studs, but the spacer also have studs on them.

 

ive heard scary stories about spacers over 10 mm

do you have any scary feelings driving on them?
any like premonition that something might go wrong?

 

Are they like these? Did stock lugnuts fit ok?

Well so far ive driven 1,000+ miles with the spacers on and i dont feel like they're gunna fall off or anything. I dont get any vibrations or anything. The spacers are hubcentric. Ive been driving the car pretty hard lately because of the swift springs and I'm not afraid the wheels will fall off.

I am saving up for new wheels so once i get +38 offset wheels i will no longer need the spacers.

 

Yup thats what they look like

edit: yeah the stock lugnuts fit perfectly

 

i see, 38 offset on 16s?

 

17" wheels with slight stretch on tires. hopefully it doesnt look wierd on the slight drop i have. I'll upgrade to coilovers next year

 

just to clarify for those reading, if ur using slip on style spacers, you won't be able to put more than 10mm - good rule of thumb is at least 7 full turns on the stud. i believe with stock studs in the rear + 10mm is about 4-5 turns on the stud.

if you're using bolt on spacers (i used to use 15mm project kics) make sure the stud/nut youre using to hold the spacer down clears the back of the rim, or some rims (like rpf01's) have slots to clear studs when youre using bolt on spacers. anddd...stock lugnuts *will* work but you should really use conical lug nuts instead of acorn style nuts so the taper fits snug with the machined spacer. (usually those ebay spacers come with lug nuts to use anyways)

happy tuning!

 

hmm im curious to see how this turns out!

+38 is flush with 17s?
