C63 Wheel spacer help - please

Hey guys,

I previously had 255 30 19s on the rear with 25mm spacers - the problem the tire was catching the arches (widened) and so I just changed them for 275 30 19 but removed the spacers so they fit just perfect. Now with that size on the back, I lose no traction from launch which is great.

The problem was once I removed the spacers, the new inner side of the tires on the rear where rubbing on the arches. So I took the 10mm spacers off the front and put them on the back. Now the backs are running fine.

That means I am missing 10mm spacers on the front two 235 30 19s rims. I was wondering if this 10mm was standard or if I could run without the spacers?

Thought to check here first before forking out the extra on the 10mm spacers for the front.

Thanks for any input.

Thumbs down

I would NEVER use wheel spacers.....in fact, in Oz, they are illegal.
Cheers, Pickles.
