spacers for et37 offset

Mr Plums · Jul 1, 2013

Hi, i have 16" ultraleggeras fitted (offset et37) and im wanting spacers, what is the max mm spacer i can use on the fronts and the backs?

When i have two adults in the back and i go over a large bump it sometimes scrapes on the rears, but it never does otherwise.

Im lowered 40mm on apex.

Any advise or links to any spacers would be great thanks

I run ET37 and 15mm up front and 5mm rear but my suspension is very hard so doesn't compress much but clearances seem okay

I'm on Cooksport springs and have cup Turini's, so ET38. I'm running 15mm rear with 1 degree camber & 20mm hubcentric on the fronts. I have no scrubbing whatsoever. Apex springs are a little lower though.

I have et37 with 16mm spacers up front and are spot on no scrubbing either. Anything more will make the wheels/tyres protrude out past the wing imo.

Is yours cup packed? Got any pics?

I'm looking for front and rears for my cup packed 182 with 15x6.5" ET37 Turinis. I'd much rather trust someone else's experience than make a rough measurement.

I would go for 10mm on the back and 15mm on the front personally. Possibly 20's on the front if you want to run a bit of camber.

No mines not cup packed.. Just a boggo version.

I have got to order some 5mm spacers for the rear from dan@MAD when i get round to it.

Again imo anything more than 5mm with my wheels will be to close and may catch the inner rear arch on hard cornering.

I have some pictures which i will upload when i finish work tonight. Only other way is as Lawro said go bigger on spacers but add camber.

205 tyres don't help with the rears in my case.

I'm the same offset on same wheels (but 15" with 195/45 tyres, no extra camber) and low on coilovers. 15mm spacers rub when driving hard, I think 10mm would be ok though. I did have 15mm spacers on the rear (when had i 25mm's on the front) but they rubbed like fook as soon as I had one person in it. I 'think' 10mm would rub too, il be going 5mm on the rear next I think.
