Should I add the spacers?

122554 · 05-09-2013, 08:33 PM

Just got the 305/30/19's on the car.

Have 10mm and 20mm in the garage. Think I should add them? I'm more worried that the tires are going to destroy the rear quarters.

Yah

And those tires look too short

karotZ · 05-09-2013, 08:51 PM

What size and offset do have for the rear wheels?

I don't think there's that much suspension travel where the tires would damage the fenders if you throw the spacers on. Looks like you could use a drop to help with the overall stance first then decide if spacers are necessary.

Oh goodness yes. 10mm at a minimum. If I could see it in person, itd be easier to evaluate but even a 20mm looks like it would be a good choice.

Put them on.... Immediately!

You won't hit fenders, you've got inches on travel room and wheels tilt inward as suspension compresses

For the love of God do something, that first pic is an eyesore lol

Add the 10mm's first and if it's still not aggressive enough try out the 20's

Not sure if your rear fenders are rolled but worst case you can do that after adding the 20's

adding spacers wont help the huge gap you have. you need a drop more than anything.

Your tire size is off spec too much. It's overall diameter about 1/2" too small. It creates a horrible gap and could affect your abs/traction system. The thing looks like a 4x4

don't add spacers unless you do a drop first. Some folks have added spacers w/o, most didn't looked right, while some were able to pull it off. Either do more research, or end up like me having multiple types of spacers due to trial and error. It's a learning process if you are not familiar with offsets. And remember, don't reuse the studs when experimenting, or use a impact wrench.
