Spacers on 265/295

Pewtinn · 02-12-2022, 11:04 AM

Hey guys - searched the forums but couldn’t lock a definitive answer-

Currently running Michelin PS All Season 4 - 265/40/21 and 295/35/21.

Car is on stock height, not lowered, and stock 21 wheels

Looking into picking up spacers, probably 12mm? Nothing too crazy

Any thoughts on the stance/rubbing? Recs?

Thanks in advance

Pretty sure several people are running those tires with spacers without issue. Don't have a thread to reference however.

Great reply.

What brands of spacers are you all using? I think I am going to go with the 12mm.

ECS tuning has awesome spacers. I used them on my Audi for fitment on rims. Just be sure to get different lugs as your stock lugs wont fit (most likely).

+1 on future classics. Probably the nicest spacer I've ever seen, ultra light weight - they weigh nothing and zero vibrations both cruising hwy and high speeds.

Haven't gotten to speed limiter with them, but close. Can't report any issues so far.

Another vote for FC. Whatever brand you choose, make sure it comes with the wheel bolts.

Pewtinn · 02-13-2022, 03:32 PM

Great, I'm thinking the 12mm plus the bolts. Would I have any issues with my wheel locks? They're the OEM spline ones.

Your wheel locks won't be long enough, they should be 12mm longer too.

Here are some from Dinan:

Thanks! Looking at H&R or FC, but trying to figure out the wheel lock situation as my neighborhood has seen some cars sitting on bricks.

Would anyone know wheel locks that would fit our oem wheels (14 x 1.25) with 12mm spacers?
