275 Tires w/ 15mm spacers on Eibachs?

I saw a couple people on the forums running 275-35-19 in the rear w/ 20MM spacers on eibachs rubbing, but has anyone had issues with 15mm spacers?

245-40-19 fronts and 275-35-19 rear on eibachs and 15mm spacers all round is my goal, but if it's going to be an issue as far as rubbing goes, I'll just drop down to 10mm (OEM wheels btw).

Thanks in advance!

Or you can get the 20mm spacers and have the inner lining trimmed

I am running that setup, but rubbing is going to happen or not depending on what you set the rear camber to. I am running very little negative camber in the rear and had to trim the liner and bumber bracket, but both are a snap to do.

Are you still having rubbing issues after trimming the liner and the bracket?

what do spacers do exactly on stock rims?? Do they make the wheels further apart or what?

It spaces the wheel from the hub so that it give it a look like it has a bigger wheel to sit more flush with the fender and doesn't give it that tucked look.



First picture is without spacers, second picture is with.

I ended up going with the eibach pro kit, spl rear camber kit, 15mm kics wheel spacers and Hankook ventus 12 evos at 245-40-19 front, 275-35-19 rear tires. I had to do the copper wire crush ring fix for the wheel spacers as I was getting a lot of vibration at 60mph+... The ring fixed about 75 - 80% of the problem, but I'm going to have my tires rebalanced just to make sure that isn't the other portion of my issue. I also had to trim the fender lining and bumper bracket as I was rubbing against it.

I do like the Hankooks a lot. They're very inexpensive, they ride better then stock and they're quiet.

For now, the car is in the shop for a minor fender bender getting a bumper / headlight replaced.
