Will 15 mm spacers fit on this setup?

CaliE90 · 08-26-2009, 05:30 PM

Hey guys, I recently got a set of miro 935 wheels with falken 452s and I was wondering if I can fit a 15 mm spacer in the rear.

My current setup is 19 x 9.5 et33 with 265/30/19 falkens.
I have rolled fenders and have accommodated my previous setup of 19x9.5 et22 vmr v710s with 265/30/19 nitto invos with no problem so I was wondering if I can get away with a 15 mm spacer on the miros.

any input would be appreciated, thanks in advance

What I would recommend you do is pull out a ruler and double check clearance between the sidewall and fender liner. Depending on each cars alignment, height, and tire it will vary so a recommendation on another car may not work on your own.

I would suggest measuring up the gap between the top of the tire to the fender to see how much room you've got to run a spacer. Once you get that measurement, then go with the spacer that fits properly with that size

The Et22 offset will be sticking past the fender just a bit, so if you run with a 10mm spacer, you should be cool because you said you had no rubbing issues before on the V710s.

15mm spacer might be a bit more hairy trying to get that to work, but if you pull or roll the fenders a bit harder, it should be ok.

I agree, measuring the gap is the best bet. You should be able to get away with 10 or 12mm spacers but it is always best to check.

Measuring is always going to offer the best solution. We suggest that customers stay a few mm's under the maximum measurement to avoid rubbing issues.

We have a selection of wheel spacers available for your application that can be found here on the website:

15mm on top of ET33 sounds like a lot. I guess your ET22 wheels was close to rubbing, so 10 or 12mm should be more than enough on ET33.

CaliE90 · 08-27-2009, 06:42 PM

thanks for the responses guys. I just threw on a set of 12 mm today and so far no rubbing and it seems like i still have enough room to squeeze the 15. my car is unlowered on stock sport suspension and fenders are rolled

Hey John,

I think you are able to pull this off primarily cause of the tires the Falken 452's have quite the rounded sidewall which has given you the clearance.

Post some pics!
