Hi, I'm getting spacers for my car. I cant get the wheels yet. So I wanted to bring out the OEM 19' wheels/tires out a little bit. This is my daily car, so nothing crazy. I'm getting eibach pro, so I would like to know whats the best size spacers for the front and back. I found one picture with a guy with 15mm all around all look just right. Thanks!

 

I think 20mm all around would flush better

 

Thanks a lot G37Sam. I see you have wider tires. So with the OEM 19, 20mm spacers with eibach pro would flush nice. What brand of spacer you recommend? What is the initial process, get eibach, install spacer, drive for a while (1 week) then get alignment, or what? I'm not getting no camber/toe kit, is that really needed. How close with eibach pro drop, after aligment does the specs come to OEM, is it close?

 

Most of these questions are answered several times in the forum. Some will offer differnet answers as there is no "best". My answers are based on what I did.

First, look in my garage for details of what I am running. The first 7 pics in my garage are with all the listed suspension mods which is nearly what you are wanting to do.

Your questions.

What is the initial process, get eibach, install spacer, drive for a while (1 week) then get alignment, or what?

Eibach springs, wait a week or so, then alignment. Spacers don't impact your alignment.

I'm not getting no camber/toe kit, is that really needed. How close with eibach pro drop, after aligment does the specs come to OEM, is it close?

You can get toe in or close to spec and that is what eats tires. Front camber will be out of spec. Rear camber will be on the upper edge of spec or slightly out of spec. If you like the look of the negative camber and toe is in spec, you don't need the camber kits with an Eibach drop. Note I am running front and read camber kits as I wanted to be at nominal spec and did not like the negative camber sag look.

 

I had 15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear thats what I would recomend!

 

i'm not lowered, 15mm all around....

15mm in the front makes the tires just sit outside of the fender...i would suggest 10mm in the front and 15mm in the rear....i personally think 15mm in the front looks kinda weird...but too late since i bought it already

 

Are you serious? Here's what Eibachs + 20mm's up front look like



I wanted to go with 25mm actually lol

 

yea, i'm serious, i'm lazy, i'll take a picture later..haha

 

I say 15mm all the way around. You will never rub.

 

15-20... If you plan on going really low, play it safe with 15.

 

Going to have to disagree a little with Kidcane. If you run 15mm all around and don't run camber kits, then most report no rubbing. It can also depend on the tire profile. The OEM tires have a less square profile. Tires like the Yoko S-drives are more square. So with 15MM, S-drives and running camber kits with camber set to nominal, I had to trim the liner and just a touch off the bumber bracket. But worth it.....to me.

 

I would have to say 20mm look at his pics with 20mm all around on eibachs

So just to confirm, any spacer will do but getting one with a hub centric ring is recommended? I'm keeping my stock wheels but thinking of going 20 and 25.

 

You absolutelly need hub centric rings to eliminate vibration caused by the wheel not being excactlly centered on the hub

 

^^Not entirely true with stock wheels. With aftermarket you will prolly need rookie rings. I am running 15mm Ichiba spacers all the way around that are hubcentric for G's and Z's with no rings and its as smooth as stock.
