Quick, put some 225/255 Star specs on there and let me know if it rubs.

looks hot.

thanks for the comparison shots, makes me realize just how badly I need spacers

samy813 · 05-15-2010, 07:05 PM

Looking good

TPLSM3 · 05-15-2010, 07:11 PM

Looks perfect! Wondering the same though....will it rub with 225s in front and 255s in the rear. Are you still on stock tire size?

SonicSun · 05-16-2010, 12:09 AM

I'm running stock tires with 215/245.
No rubbing so far after day 5.
No rubbing on full steering turning as well in the front.

I'm running the same tires as you, and I don't see how spacers could work - especially the 18 mm's. The tires are pretty wide, and it seems to me that spacers would push the Star Specs beyond flush with the fender, but I'm certainly no expert.

If someone knows different, I'd like to hear about it, or see some pics or something.

With 225's the largest spacer you can go with are 10mm. I had 12mm on the front and it rubbed over large dips.

I too don't know how you got away with 18 mm spacers in the front, but looks great!

What shocks\struts did you go with?

Awesome stance man. How much were the spacers?

SonicSun · 05-16-2010, 06:33 PM

Everything is stock.

Great stuff. Spacers are a must have!
I've had my 15mm H&R trak+ spacers on my E30 for over 10 years. I've had them on the car off & on of course...I used to take em' off when I installed my winter wheels/tires.
