I'm so confused, I'm planning on upgrading my tires to a bigger size but not sure if they will fit, don't know what size spacers to get, and I'm getting the eibach springs so I don't know if everything will fit right. Front: BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW Rear: BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2

The fronts will def. Be fine with a 15mm spacer. The rears will be 20 mm wider than the stock 275s, so that is like a 10mm spacer right there. I would suggest 15 front and rear

That's really nice of you! I will PM if I can't find any friends who are coming back here to help me buy and bring it back.

Cheers mate.

Hi Mike,

could I check with you if your H&R DRS included the extended replacement studs?

I'm planning to get 20mm all around!

Hey Mike, got any pics of your rears with the 25mm? I am wondering how flush it looks. Did you know mention that you had Volks and they were the same spec as the Sport rims?

Thanks
Curtis

I have the accessory Nismo's which are the same as sport rims. I don't think I have a good closeup picture, and my car is currently on jackstands without wheels. When I get it back on the ground in a day or two, I will take a picture for you.

^ Thanks Mike, appreciate it. I have seen a pic with a 1.0 inch drop of 20mm with Sport Rim and tire 305/30/19 on minicobra' Z and they look good. I would not be stretching that size tire on a 10" wheel. Be looking either at stock 275's or 285's for replacement when the time comes.

Wondering if the 25mm spacers would still look ok without bulging the wheel or tire out of the fender?

Here's the thread with his pics.


Wider tires on sport rims?

Question: So how do spacers affect the dynamics of the car . .say for tracking purposes? What are the pros and cons of spacers - at least on the ride and for tracking?

Minicobra has some pics of his car right after he got it, with 15mm on the rear only, with the stock 19" Rays and 275s...... it looks good. Look at his older posts to find those pics or his album. Based on that, I think 20mm and an upgrade later to 285/35 will make you happy. When you see his older pics, think "5 more mm of spacer and 10mm of tire (5mm each side of the rim)".
