Largest Spacer with 18x10 et25?

Special_K · 06-09-2017, 04:30 PM

running 275/35 NT01s, square. Just curious what the largest spacer you can run front/rear would be?

I have 12mm spacers I use with my daily set which are just a bit too big. I'm guessing answer is either 10 or 8mm. Basically don't want to swap off spacers every track day...

I'm on Ohlins R/T (mid setting, -20mm) and -3.0 camber in front

thanks!

You can run a 5mm front and 12mm rear with no issues

8mm is not possible unless you are ok with no hub contact (not a good idea). 5mm works. 10mm is possible with your camber setting.

I ran 18X10 +25 and 12mm spacer without issues. On 285, 295, and 305 tires in front.

But I'm running -3.7 camber in front.

That's amazing fitment up front, did you remove your fender liners?

I rubbed a few small portions off running the 12mm with same wheels and 275/35 NT01s. A little more camber might do the trick for me

Fender liners, all bodywork is stock.

Just running lots of camber. 30 profile helps

I've run 10.5 front with a 12mm spacer. Too stancy for my like

dj_dub · 06-19-2017, 02:35 PM

I've run 10mm in the fronts and 12mm in the rears without any issues. I personally feel that's the limit with my setup.

dj_dub Looks great! Which 10mm spacer are you running? I just called TMS and they couldn't tell me if the 10mm is safe to run based on the hub size and wheel backspacing
