Wheel Spacer Size??

@jflogerzi @executivekoala

Does that mean no shorting/cutting need to be done to the original studs with H&R DRM series (20mm/30mm) spacer, on stock 17" rims ?



H&R DRM Series

DRM Series spacers bolt to the hub with existing wheel studs and special nuts (included). Wheel is bolted to new DRM wheel studs
TRAK+ wheel spacers are made from a proprietary aluminum/magnesium alloy which is not only incredibly strong, but also very light weight (up to 70% lighter than a comparable steel product). TRAK+ wheel spacers are then hard anodized to ensure a tough, durable finish that is resistant to chipping, scratching and oxidation. Hub centric for the highest level of accuracy.

Then I dropped it on RS-R SuperDowns yesterday, it looks OEM+++ and I'm quite happy. Car is being detailed today, but here is a pic I snapped late last night.

Specs:
20mm front
25mm rear
-1" front
-1.125' rear (as of this morning)

does anyone know if 25mm in the front will rub or not?

You'll need just a tad of negative camber, about 1" of drop and not too wide of a tire and it will tuck and be flush

Thanks! I have a 1.4 drop and stock rims and tires you think I'll be okay?

Yep, it'll look great. Make sure you have a way of adding some negative camber in the front. Camber bolts ($20-$30ish) or camber plates ($250-$400) will do. In the back you should already have about -1.5 natural camber so you'll be good to go there.

This thread helped me a lot, so I figured I would post my sizes and results. Lowered 1" 5mm front / 15mm rear.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm totally new to this spacer thing. Does running spacers have any effect (positive or negative) on the handling? I would love my rims to be flush for esthetics, but don't want to change performance. Thanks!

IMHO, I have 30mm spacers in the rear and the front is stock for now (just ordered 20mm's for the front) and because of this, the slightest turn on the steering wheel and my car moves left or right.
With the 20mm's I ordered, I should be able to balance/manage the over-steering (prefer over-steer than under for those emergency situations and/or quick turns)
Until now.. I loved the setup (30mm rear / stock in front) but lately I've been feeling like my turning ability has decreased when merging onto a highway ramp/bend due to my current setup. Mind you, Ive been driving like this since mid January 2018 and it is mid September 2018 now... so I can tell you.. all that oversteer eventually gets annoying especially when you want to multi task while driving (baby wants attention, etc..) and you look away for a sec and you start to drift left or right.
Having purchased the 20mm spacers for the front it should significantly reduce my oversteer and make my daily drives much more smooth and relaxing.
Hope this helps.

Just got 25mm in the back and 20mm in the front today. It's much better fitment and I'm digging the flush look.

I’d check your alignment. Spacers aren’t going to cause your car to wonder. Your use of the terms “drift” and “oversteer” are also miss leading as what you are describing is neither.
