spacers

TonyBPD · 06-18-2010, 08:45 PM

Yes bolt on. They were 5X100 to 5X130 and 25mm thick.

Installed 20mm spacers on my PW. It does not rub going straight but when I'm turning and hit a good sized bump I hear a scrape. I really cant tell where it is coming from...If anyone has any experience and has answers to fix it, let me know. I may have to roll the fenders?

No problem here Mark, with H&R 20mm spacers on Fr with Sport rims. I know you are also running the sport rims. What brand spacers are you running? I have about 2k miles on my spacers and do not hear nor feel any scraping.

If you want to drop to 15mm, I have 2 sets to sell (H&R stud replacement). I also have 20 mm H&R stud replacement 2 sets.

I figured out what was rubbing. It wasn't the fender. It was the small plastic piece of fender liner that comes out near the bumper/fender line. Got an alignment and things look alot better. The car looks great. I can't wait to powdercoat my wheels.

Kewl, glad it all worked out. I lub my 20 mm fr and 25mm Rr (H&R) Pass the word to ur bay area buds about my spacers 4sale. In 4 ur pics once the stance and wheels r done.

kgreen · 07-08-2010, 12:32 PM

im running H&R springs, H&R spacers 20mm rear and 15mm front with no rubbing issues. Rear is perfectly flush with fender and fronts tuck slightly. Exactly what i wanted

the_student · 07-13-2010, 01:25 AM

Found out the fender does rub with 20mm up front. I am dropped 1.4 in front and rear on KW V3. Got an alignment back to stock and it definitely rubs but only on banked turns while hitting some bumps like on on/off ramps. Going straight is no problem. I am still looking to go 1/4 to 3/8s lower. If you go 20mm spacer up front, drop your car about 1.5 inches, and drive agressively, you should definitely have your front fenders rolled.

Zforce, I think you are on Eiback Prokits? That may be why you aren't experiencing any rubbing issues?

ZForce · 07-13-2010, 03:51 PM

Yup... I have the ProKit (0.9 drop)...as I do not think the Sportline (1.2 drop) was available last Aug when I purchased mine. I would have still stuck with the ProKit becuase there was no need to buy $$$ front control arms. Any lower and I would prolly not be able to kick out the wheels any more than 15mm in the front.

20mm in Fr and 25mm in the rear is a perfect match with Eibach ProKit and SPC rear camber kit. Also the Toe bolt will def have to be installed to get it back into an acceptable range or OEM spec. But NO upper control arm needed....yipee!!!

Roll the front fender? They are already rolled. ....Errr....correction, I just checked and they are NOT rolled from factory....bastards...the Z33 were rolled from factory...what up??

Here's my info on these... Front: 20" X 9.5" wide with +35 offset
Rear: 20" X 10.5" wide with +10 offset
My tire sizes where: Front 265/30/20 and Rear 305/25/20.

Is your car lowered? Do you rub with the 305 in the back? if not,how close is it to rubbing. Do you think it would rub with a +5 offset, all things being equal?
