Done some research and buying spacers for stock 08 rims,my ? Is has anyone or know of anyone that has had any issues with spacers or caused an issue. Going with 15mm front and 20mm back.thanks for info
There are tons of threads on this exact "what do you think about spacers" subject. Some members have run those exact sizes and have had no problems. I'll let them chime in but use the search tool on this forum. Its very helpful.
Good luck
you'll be fine....I have the same set up but for 2012 wheels (0.5" wider). just buy H&R spacers and extended wheel studs (ARP) to replace your OEM.....might have to shave the front for better fitment of lugs & studs...
Only issue I had when I installed my spacers was that one of my extended rear studs (H&R) snapped off when I was having a tire replaced. Also - installing the extended studs is a bit of a pain.
Ride and handling did not seem to be effected for me..
my f came with 15 or 20 mm spacers but only in the rear. they make the rear sit almost flush where the fount has a huge gap i just got the 15mm spacers for the fount well see how much they change the gap. sucks having them sit at home wile im away at a college i just want to install them!
I had 15mm on the front and rear and I thought the front could use a little larger, so I switched them to 20mm. I think it looks pretty much perfect now and this is on my 2008.
You might have to change your studs to accommodate the spacers. Roll/shave your fenders if you plan on lowering the car. I think I had 15mm fronts and 20mm rears and my car is lowered. Definitely rubbed, especially on full turns.
recently put 20mm spacers all around. i have one finger gap in the rear and a 1.5 finger gap on the front. fenders aren't rolled and i only had to cut a quarter size chunk from the right fender liner due to rubbing from making a hard right while reversing.
i'd suggest a 25mm spacer up front if you want a completely flush look. this was on my 08 btw w/ the stock oem wheels.
