Default Spacers with stock wheels and Tein s.

Been browsing the archives.

Which is the largest H&R spacer that would work without rubbing with the tein s springs. I think the tc could use the wheels out a little.

5mm,15mm, 20mm ddr type with longer studs.

Thanks for any help.

Just a little friendly advice from an mechanic--wheel spacers are a bad idea. They put stress on the frame the car was not engineered to handle.

You must be a ford mechanic then.... Porsche and race cars have been using spacers for years with no problems. I have had 12mm spacers on my audis with no problems. I have seen porsches with 30mm!

Not to forget all the hicks and mexicanmobiles with 40mm spacers! It just matters if the things are hubcentric or not. If they are not hubcentric you are right.... You can break your bolts and they you have a 'wheelfallingoff' problem....
