Wider Spacers up Front?

scZdc

wondering if anyone on the board has experimented with wider spacers on the front wheels?

im in a conundrum: i have a set of H&R DRS 10mm and 15mm. after lowering on Eibach springs, i dont think ill have enough room for the 15mm's in back without occasional rubbing. the front definitely needs spacers, but the new lug nuts wont match the front and back wheels if i just put spacers on one end of the car. (yes, the stock lugs wont work with H&R or possibly even other non-bolt on spacers).

i was thinking instead to put the 15's on the front and 10's in the back. im running Nismo wheels, and think they'd look pretty flush if i went that route. now im just wondering if the front wheels will stick out farther an if that will look a little weird.

any thoughts? thanks in advance!

Looks awesome with the eibachs.

You shouldn't have an issue moving the 15mm up front. In fact, you can do 15mm all around and still be okay, it is actually an ideal set up for the Nismo wheels in terms of flushness. Here's an old thread for better reference

thanks for the advice. i frequently consulted the thread/link you provided. for some reason, the wheels/tires seem to stick out more than other 370s with the Nismo wheels (definitely not a bad thing, and im wondering if that has anything to do with the aftermarket rotors i have). thats why i went with the 10mm front and 15mm rear, as opposed to 15mms or 20mms all around.

it would be great if i could do 15mm front and 10mm back without it looking like i have a wider set up in the front. the shop i went to seems to think the 15mms in the back would cause rubbing issues (it might based off my measurements), but if im doing spacers and lugs, i want them on both ends of the car so everything matches up.
