Need some help? spacers or no with H&R coils
hey guys, Ill be quick and to the point. I currently hae H&R coilovers and plan on running 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 Lorinser LM6 type replica wheels...will I need a custom spacer to give myself the drop I want and no rubbing issues. Do I need spacers for the front? A fellow member has 19s with tein coils and said he had to run a custom 12.25" spacer in the front....please help me out with all of this. It would be GREATLY appreciated
kind regards,
Geoff

sweet...I give up on asking for help in this part of the forums. Guess 30 views and not one piece of advice from anyone is really beneficial. (Sits and now waits for a reply...in response to this post at least)

depends on the weather
well, your post really doesn't make any sense ..... what do you need a 12" spacer for ...... that would move the wheels out of the fender to the point the inside edge of the tire would be 3"-4" past the fender
I think that you are probably trying to convey something different but, I have no idea what it is

the coile overs from H&R will allow for more clearance than the standard MB suspension so, you will not need spacers to run an 8.5" wide wheel with a 35mm offset
