I see lots of recommendations for spacers, usually 10mm rear and 12-15 front. The sites I've checked show that the sedan's front and rear track is the same for both pre and post facelift (61.8 front and 60.1 rear) - a bit of a surprise since I thought it had been widened. The coupe seems different - specs are shown as 62.4 front track and 61.5 rear. It looks like overall width is the same for both coupe and sedan, at 69.7".

Since the coupe comes with a wider track, would it need a much smaller spacer than the sedan?

bump . . .
Anyone able to help answer this one?

where do you see recommendations for spacers? No one should ever recommend spacers. If you want your wheels to stick out more, buy some wheels that fit the car better. If you're too cheap and want your wheels to stick out more, then look at your car and measure yourself? I dont think anyone knows what you're asking for.

OK, let me try this again:

Sedan owners who want to get a wider track and fuller-looking wheelwells (without splurging for new wheels) are typically using a 10mm spacer rear and a 12-15mm spacer front. Wider spacers seem likely to cause the tires to rub.

The couple was designed with a wider track than the sedan. If you put 10mm rear and 12-15mm front spacers on a coupe, will the tires rub?

i did not realize that the two body styles have different track widths. surprising.
