Default Wheelgap standard f-sport

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding your rearwheel gap on the F-sport with the factory setup. I never measured the gap before my car went in for a rubberfix (2013 GS450h F-sport only) but it came back with quite a big gap imho.

These are my current measurements from arc to rim
13.2 c,m (=5.19 inches)



So I am wondering what your "gap" is and if there is quite a difference will the RSR lowering springs still have the same effect?

Thanks all!

I don't know about RSR springs but the Tanabe NF210 advertised drop (1+) did the deed for me. I just checked my REAR arc to rim and it looks to be about 3 5/8" after the Tanabes. I think the RSR may lower it even more. Nevertheless, the stock F Sport gap is way too wide so time to drop it

Excellent! RSR did the drop nicely 1.5 inch , however it went a little more down than I expected (was expecting 1), resulting in some rubbing.
