I finally got my Eibach Pro Kit springs installed, and now I'm unhappy with the amount of tire tuck. I guess I didn't do enough research, or else I would have ordered spacers before I had the springs installed, but oh well. I really like the look of the stock 19's, but I'm going to put 245/275 tires on them in the spring.

So with stock 19s, Eibach Pro Kit springs (no camber kit, my guy said he got it so close to spec that any discrepancy is negligible), 245(f) and 275(r) tires, what spacers do you recommend? It looks like a lot of people went with 15mm in the rear and 10mm in the front, but will those rub with 245/275 and Eibachs? Anyone running a similar setup and have pictures?

Also, are spacers the kind of thing I can install in my garage with a set of sockets and the spare-tire jack? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to complicated mods, so unless it's as simple as changing a tire then I might just deal with my tuck.

The front spacers are a little difficult because you have to remove the studs but you can back them right out with the double bolt technique. The rears are much more difficult because the studs are in the hub and have to be replaced as well.

 

i got your same situation but im keeping stock tires..

 

why dont you just measure yourself?

 

It's a non-issue anymore as of 10 minutes ago. I just took a little 3 hr trip home for the weekend, got out of my car, and noticed a dent in my front left fender. I have no clue when or how it happened; almost looks like someone kicked or kneed the fender. I washed it right before I left, so it had to happen when I stopped to get gas. Anywho, the repair is probably going to cost me a couple hundred, so no more mods for a while. :-(

 

Bummer.

 

you do not need to remove no studs. just get ichiba spacers because they have built in studs that will just bolt on to the rotors. i would go with 10mm all round to be on the safe side. i had 20mm all around and they looked redunnnnnkilous.

 

According to Ichiba's website, they don't make bolt-on 10mm spacers. The smallest bolt-ons they make are 15mm. So how bad did the 20mm look? Would 15mm solve the "redunnnnnkilous" look?

 

Both Ichiba and Eibach make bolt-on, but only in 15, 20 and 25mm.
