Looking flush now... you make me regret selling my OEM 18's. I just didn't like how sunk in they were, but spacers would fix the problem. How safe is it to run spacers in the long term?
Off topic: Is it the reason why you sold your OEM locks cuz you need longer bolts?

nice set up. Are you running stock size tires (235f, 255r)? And have you lowered your car since?

LFM is in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest cat skiing right now, the poor batsard. I can tell you that he is running stock sizes, and he has put KW v3's on but they weren't on at the time of those photos. He was just riding stock at that time. I'm running the same set up but in a p30 on H&R's.

This is my favorite spacers thread... it was so helpful when i was in the market for spacers & xtended lugs... thanks to LFM Vancouver & 604 C63.
Well, I was told the 12mm in the rear cause rubbing with the OEM tires (255/30)... so I'm glad I went 10mm in the rear, it sits perfect with the 12mm front.
Hope OP wont mind if I contribute by posting few pics of my wheels with spacers here, so ppl can see when they search for this spacers thread...

would dunlop 245 40 18 F and 275 35 18 R fit on coupe with H&R springs with 15mm front and 12 mm back spacers? I'm in a bind and the tires were just about free.Anyone running this set up?

ddcha, I don't think spacers will affect the dirt in the rear bumper that much as our cars attracts lots of dirt in the rear area to begin with.
Well, my HRE are the same flushness in the rear as my OEM with spacers... and so far so good.
mvagusta, my guess is you will rub with 275/35/18 with 12mm spacers in the rear. I would try 10mm first. The front should be ok although very close if you are drop on H&R.

The front may just work, but as Roswell said - all bets are off if you're lowered.
If you're lowered at all it just aint gonna happen. The tires were just about free so put em on, see how they look with the extra width, and go from there.

I agree with you 604 C63, 2.5cm is a lot for the rear... it will only work at stock height, but even that... if you have passengers it will rub over bumps.

Roswell, LFM and myself all live in Canada. We have two seasons - winter and paving. Half the time the road debris is covered by snow like in Roswells pics, and the other half the time aint nothing gonna save you from the pot holes the snow created in the frozen pavement.
Seriously tho, it really isnt a problem.

I still hate to clean my rear bumper though.

roswell: your pic with the 10mm and stock rears looks perfectly flush. i guess 10mm with 265 rears would rub? i think it would stick out beyond the fenders, yet i know a lot of people here are running 10mm rears with no problems (?). i am on stock P30 springs, but i plan on lowering as well ...

According to oszlowa (Matt), u can run 265 or 275 with 10mm spacers, but u have to pick a tire with rounded sidewalls. Look at this thread, he posted very interesting infos:

He said my Yokohamas are running wider than other brand, so I think I will rub if I go from 255/30 to 265/30 Yokos.
