What is a better aggressive looking spacer?
Hey guys,
I am looking to run a more aggressive stance for my rear wheels. My current setup for the winter is:
Front Tires: Continental Extreme DWS 225/45/17
Rear Tires: Continental Extreme DWS 245/40/17
Front and Rear Wheels: Euro 22 Reps 17x8 ET35
My question is....What is the better option for REAR spacers for an aggressive stance and won't rub in the REAR?
A 15mm spacer?
or a 25mm spacer?
Can you tell me what is the best option?
Thank you in advance,
Nic

I ran a 10mm in the rear on an ET35 wheel and it was nice and flush - rubbed like hell after lowering the car though.

So based on what I have read is anything less than 10mm will vibrate, and also possibly rub if lowered?
What was your setup when you lowered? How many inch drop? What kind of tires?
Thanks
Nic

5mm spacers are not hub centric and you will with 95% certainty get vibrations. I lowered the car about 1.5", P-Zero 265-30/19's. If you are stock height, you can run a 20mm spacer on a ET35 wheel, another member did so and he loved it.

Good info!
I am thinking a 20mm will be fine, and I should have any issues.
Thanks for the info...much appreciated. As soon as I get something ordered I will be posting pics!
