Default Which Spacers with Swift Springs?

Hey guys!

UK member here - Slowly piecing together some parts for the F (Nothing is sold here with the F being so rare and need to import everything from the US and Japan!) and I have just received my Swift Springs.

I was wondering what thickness spacers you guys run with these springs? Was thinking 15mm but I would like to avoid any rubbing if possible!

Pics with your setup would also be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.

My F Currently...

Welcome to the board.

It appears from your pic that you're currently on the oem wheel/tire combo, is that correct?

If yes, then spacers shouldn't be required in order for you to install the Swift's.

***Edit***

If installing spacers for looks, sorry, but I can't help.

Hi,

That's correct, although the want for spacers was more down to the aesthetics - I spent most of my career with Lexus and always felt as if the wheels sat too far into the arch, the offset was never right and this unfortunately includes the F! So really I want the Tyre / Wheel to sit flush with the edge of the arches and was wondering if anyone had achieved that before?

Looks like the perfect sizing for no rubbing!

To the OP, if you need some 5-20mm H&R spacers, let me know sir!
