I just don't to rip out my bumper if I hit a deep pot hole.

I ran 15mm in the rear with h and r springs with 0 problems. Sounds like they're being cautious but really it's not even a concern.

Thanks for the help!

This is your experience with stock wheels right?

I know you're running VMRs now.

Yeah. I do get just a bit of rubbing in the rear only with the VMRs when I have a car full of adults. But that's the only rubbing I've had. And the tears are an inch and a half wider than stock on each wheel so you should be okay :-p

Worst case if you see issues it won't be too bad just get rid of the spacers if needed.

Done! No rubbing so far. Car def feels more planted, not getting wheel spin in 1st and 2nd.

Love it!

Tech reminder to all: when wheels are off, clean even new hubs with wire brush, wipe clean and apply a small layer of anti-seize around outside of hub. New wheels and hubs start the differing metals & rusting process, and above will make it very easy for later removal.

My Bergers worked fine...15mm rear and 12mm front. Originally I was 12 rear and 10 front. Have a set of 10mm I could part with cheap if anyone needs them

Do you have any pics of 10/12mm setup. Is it a huge optical difference to 12/15mm?

Here is the 12/10mm Combo:

Here is the 15/12mm combo:

Thanks! But no h&r springs, right?

TwinsRnice · 07-10-2015, 11:33 AM

Did you have to buy longer bolts for this set up. I just bought some springs and am working out the details on some TRAK spacers ATM. Looks outstanding by the way.

Yes usually the spacer comes with the bolts.... stock bolts are too short

Nope, not really into the "dropped" look.
