Yes, with your 5mm , maybe even 3mm spacers in the front. The rear will fit no problem.

no camber bolts or anything like that?

If you are running OEM length studs, then I won't suggest anything more than a 3mm slip spacer. And with the specs you have for wheels, tires, and offset, you won't have very many millimeters in-between your tire and spring perch. You can add camber bolts, but won't be able to get much negative camber before you rub.

Some guys run 5mm on stock length studs. IIRC, you want eight threads minimum lug nut engagement.

Safety first :cheers:

so technically it should be safe?

IMO, No. Though, a few members have said that they have done it for AutoX.


But, for me...
I installed extended studs when I added a 5mm spacer. So, I wouldn't do it.


This is why I suggested a 3mm spacer, which is generally accepted as the thickest slip style spacer to add to OEM studs. The 3mm should be enough to keep you from rubbing. And, the 2 extra mm thickness (of a 5mm spacer) will not let you add any significant amount of negative camber. You will need coilovers, with a smaller diameter spring compared to OEM, to be able to add enough negative camber to tuck the front wheels.

Running that fitment, coilovers would help you a lot...
