15mm front on full lock, not much space, and this is on flat ground:

I have the 19" wheels and probably won't be upgrading anytime soon so I figured I would throw a little cash into a new stance on the 245s/50/19s.

Goal: Purely visual. This is my wifes DD.

The CB and and bolt pattern is the same as the G30 so I figure I could make this work if I buy G30 spacers from ECS tuning.

I tested 15mm and 20 mm in the rear (remember I had a flat a couple days ago so I had to take off the Spare) and saw no issues at all. I might need to have some people sit in the second row just to make sure.

Also, since I would need extended lug bolts I figured I could buy racing studs from APEX (M14 x 1.25 x 90mm kit). Then I won't be afraid at all that the lug bolts are the wrong length. I am going to e-mail APEX for any input.

Will upgrade with some pics this weekend. Need to go back to the garage.

***PARTIAL UPDATE****

The pictures I took are crap. I need to make more space in the garage (I need to move the other car out, shared garage).

I also didn't work on the fronts at all as expected. It got dark and was cold (~20 degrees, no heat) so I aborted mission. I will be working on this again this weekend.

Your wife has double d?

They Look great!

How do you like them now that you have had them on for a while with the 21" wheels?

Yes. More specifically, a G01.

GoodGuyAvi · 08-22-2019, 05:53 PM

Installed:

-13 mm spacers kit (BurgerMotorsports/7075-T6)
-21’ stock wheels (Torque Specifications for G chassis 105 ft-lbs)

I would not go higher than 13. Such a propa fitment!....like it should be from the factory. (One finger in front, on full lock. Higher than 13mm will spread the dirt out)
The back of the car became “noticeably” wider !

13mm on 21" wheels looks great. How would the 13mm look with factory 19" wheels? I don't want the tire to stick out past the fender at all.

With 19" wheels should the spacer in the front be thicker than the spacer in the rear? or is that just for folks with 21" wheels? Thanks.

Sorry but i cant recommend the right size for your set, but I would go 13mm anyway to be safe...it’s already going to be big improvement.

Here is a no-spacers photo with 19" wheels. I am torn between 13mm and 15mm. Appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

So he got a pair of H&R Spacers with bolts for $100? I'm in! Hope they make them in black too!

Probably his name initial is RG.

No, his name has nothing to do with why I quoted him. He was the guy in that link you posted! I thought you were saying you sold him a set and that's why you posted that link.

No, it was a link to how 15mm all around on 19" looks like.

suby01 · 03-25-2020, 08:38 PM

Hi so a 2 part question.
1. Is a 15mm spacer all around the preferred setup for a OEM 19" wheel? Or a 12 in front and a 15 in the back?

2. What brands offer a silver spacer? Because I feel like the black spacer will be too noticeable with the silver wheel finish and rotor.

TIA
