Spacer help!

hey everyone,
as most of you know i am lowered on H&R race springs.
My wheels are stock sport rims(19 inch)

I have been considering spacers on the rear, and i was wondering what size i should get.
I want an aggresive offset, but because of my low height i do not want to risk rubbing.

Will 10mm be sufficient to be alligned with the fender?

thanks for your help

You can do 15mm. Make sure you order the 15mm hub centric spacers otherwise, if you get the regular spacers, you'll risk your rears poppin off while your driving since the bolts are not long enough

If I remember it correctly, GiGGaPlease had 25mm spacers but on stock height. His wheels looked like it was sticking out a bit. But with your H&R's it should look good.

But don't take my word for it. I have bad memory.

When i had my stocks with 8mm spacers, i was only able to turn the lug nuts 3.5 full turns which is very unsafe.

cancel your 10mm order and order a 15mm or 20mm HUB CENTRIC SPACER from your friend.

Its safer than doing a 10mm without getting replacement studs that are longer

You can get 10mm with the longer studs too. 10mm will put them close, 15mm is about perfect. Either will need longer studs or you will die.

call wheel fix it in Miami and ftlauderdale, they are experts on Spacers, and could even make them custom for your application. they fixed some of my wheels in the past, and do all types of work for wheels and spacers so they should be able to help you!!
