Perfect. Spacers? What springs?

Thanks :D

This pic is with 15mm spacers in the front, 20mm spacers in the rear. Doesn't totally show in this angle but they are a bit too far out for my liking. I am changing it to 5mm in the front and 10mm in the rear, which will be more or less equivalent to ECS's "Flush Kit" for the Austins.

Springs are VWR.

Will probably post another pic after I swap out the spacers.

Question for everyone here that is running 18x8.5 wheels. Are you getting any rubbing with suspension on the wider wheels?



Suspension mods and offset is going to be the main factor here. 18x8.5 ET+45 with a 225/40/18 and you'll be fine. 235/40/18 and you will probably need to do the fender screw mod.

EDIT: I'm running 19x8.5+45 with a 235/35/19 on VWR springs and have zero rubbing issues.

I am running +45 with 235s and a 5mm spacer in the rear. I had mild rubbing in the front with zero rubbing in the rear. Fender screw mod fixed the rubbing issues.
