I'm about to make a purchase on some Eibach Pro Kit springs for my 08 Is 250. Do I need spacers? If so, which ones and where can I get them?

 

It depends on your rim spec and tire size.

 

I have stock 18" rims. Tire sizes are stock as well. I think the fronts are 225/40/18 and rears are 255/40/18.

 

I doubt you'll need spacers with stock wheels and the eibach pro kit.

 

You'll only need spacers if you want a more flush look. If I remember right some people are running 15mm front and 20mm rear with their stock rim and tires, you might want to check out some of the vendors on this site who sells them, they can get you a pretty good deal.

 

I'm running Ichiba Version II Wheel Spacers [R: 20mm F:15mm] with the stock 18's, and I feel they absolutely necessary

 

Thanks for the input guys.

 

Same setup here although I rub a little in the rear but I have H&R springs. Definitely looks good with the stock wheels, subtle difference that some people notice.

 

aQuarius26 - do your wheels rub any?

 

I'm running 15mmm across the board, no rubbing here.

 

this might sound alil dumb but....
SPACERS = making your wheels look wider or what?

 

aren't there issues with using spacers?

 

Not as long as they are the ones with wheel studs attached...

Its the ones that are just a plate to push your wheel out and shorten your stock studs that cause problems...


No at all rubbing here... I'm on Tein S-Tech's

 

Hey Aquarius, how much stiffer and uncomfortable is the ride from the eibach pro kits to the Tein s -techs?

Thanks.

 

Do you have a good photo showing the profile of the front and rear (showing how far they move the wheels out) with the 15 and 20 mm spacers. I'd be interested in seeing that because I'm thinking of getting those with my G Spider wheels.

Thanks...
