this is not super aggressive anywhere, especially up front BTW, although the rear will look very nice

[tacoman]

what others said. Agree.

I have macht schnell's btw.

there's a thread in the wheel/tire section dedicated to spacers and what sizes to use on which setups. take a look down there. depends on what tire setup and how lowered you are. most people run 15/12, but that will rub if you up the tire sizes to 255/275.

15/12 to be conservative, I eventually went with 18/15 on the stock tires to be a bit more aggressive.

15/12, 15 is front? 12 is rear? I have been searching through the day and I see people worried about 10/12 in fronts (old threads).

That's correct, 15mm for the front and 12mm for the rears with factory tire sizes. Are you lowered or planning on lowering?

Do the spacers affect track performance? Should I take them off on the track? Thanks.

Nope, stock. Well the Comp Pack OEM 10mm lower if that counts.

Google "scrub radius" and decide for yourself.

Me pushing the limits!! 20mm rear spacers, lowered on B&G springs 285/30/19. No rubbing!

That looks dope! I'm on B&G too with 245/275 tires and 15/12 spacers right now. How did you get 20mm rears it fit and what do you have on the fronts?

I have no spacers in the front but I'm also running 19x10 as well. I didn't have to do anything in order to get the 20mm to fit the rear. It could be because of the tires. I have continental sport contact DW. The rear rims were actually widened to a 19x11 (from a 19x10). No rubbing.

We sedan owners are a bit luckier with wheel fitment due to the bigger rear wheel arches

You can't get quite the same look/fitment on the coupes.

[DAbed]

how do you widen the rears?

i have a square zcp set up (19x10 all around) and i want to know what spacers i should run to make it flush like that ^

They were done by a shop in Cali named either flossin or flossman. Not sure. They were done before I received them. 20mm in the rear will get you flush but depending on your brand and size tire will determine whether or not you may rub. I'm running cont. DW 285/30/19.

[DAbed]

i want to run either michelin pss or toyo r8 not sure which yet for the square setup.
i was thinking 245-35-19 w 10mm spacers on the fronts and 285/30/19 w 20mm spacers for the rears.
i have airrex that i will be installing too, made the transition from coilovers to air so this should be interesting

So what size spacer fits with upsize tires?

[ApexWheels]

Great information floating around in here. Keep in mind that tire brand, tire size, camber specifications and vehicle ride height can all effect fitment from one car to another. Use other members as a benchmark, but be sure to take into account where your car/setup may be a bit different.

As mentioned, we have also found that 15mm front & 12mm rear are the most popular sizes to use with ZCP wheels and OEM tire sizes.

A "flush fitment" is subjective. Some enthusiasts are after an aggressive stanced look, while others may interpret flush entirely different. I do not mean to over complicate the situation, but we are dealing with millimeters here. I always urge enthusiasts make their own informed decision instead of taking forums posts as gospel.

Last, if you are running spacers of any width, always be sure to purchase the the appropriate extended hardware for proper installation.
