New member need advice on spacers sorry

[roryswfc]

hi first post sorry about the subject I know it's been done to death but I've trawled through and not found my answer. Anyway I'm running 15 inch alloys et38 and lowered by 60mm on spax springs I'm planning to get spacers 25mm front 20 rear. Wondering if anyone has done this or knows if i will get any rubbing
thanks

Haven't measured that but it should be fine. The top won't rub but be careful when turning. Front spacers larger than 25mm may cause rub depending on your camber and offset.

Thanks for your help as I say the wheels are et 38 offset and I haven't done anything with camber (yet). When I measured the gap from arch to tyre, it seemed I had about 30mm all round but I wasn't sure whether this was a good enough gauge on whether the wheels would rub.

I mean by measuring vertically down from the outside of the arch and then horizontal from the widest point on the tyre. My previous reply seemed tricky to understand

 

[smac4494]

No worries I understood.

Anyone got any other input as I'm ordering today. The mad ones are rated on here aren't they?

I've got 15mm FK front spacers, spax springs. When I had 15's on there wasn't any issues, now I've got 16's on I get rubbing when turning hard right.

When I said 15mm I actually meant 25mm. Damn auto correct!
