305 30 19 Tires and Spacer???

Hey Guys, I currently am running a 19 by 10.5 in the rear with a +12, do you think a 10mm spacer is to much for 305 30 19 tires?

Default 305 30 19 Tires and Spacer???

Hey Guys,

I currently am running a 19 by 10.5 in the rear with a +12, do you think a 10mm spacer is to much for 305 30 19 tires? or is a 5mm recommended?

Thanks

Huy

I have seen a 5 mm spacer with that setup but I forget that camber value. I don't know about 10 though, but it may work if you give yourself a little more negative camber.

I run the setup mentioned with 19x10.5 +3 with the 2o mm spacer on 305/30/19, little bit of poke, but I like it, 15mm would be ideal.

I do like the poke, but im guessing it doesn't help with camber wear on the tires :-)....... What if we were to "pull" the rear fenders just a tad to give a little less negative camber?

Thats what I was thinking... I thinking 5mm with extended studs on rear and 2mm spacer with extended studs for front?

i have a set of 5mm and a set of 10mm HR stud extension type spacers that i bought and never used. I forgot to return them and then when i realized that i needed to, it was too late (30+days). Anyways, i am having coilovers and a camber kit installed this weekend, and i will see how the car looks when lowered, but i doubt i will end up using them, in which case you can buy them from me for cheaper than they'd cost new.

yeah jeff.. if the price is right for the 5mm then just pm me when you find out. Are the 5mm just the plate or does it come with the regular studs with the spacer?

I have 19x11" rear +24 and that is about 5.5mm farther out than yours....and I have been thinking about doing a 5mm spacer myself. 5mm will be plenty fine...plenty.

Im om eibachs and 305/30s

Old thread...sorry. curious what you decided?

If this setup clears than a 10mm would clear on mine...depending on camber I guess. I only have -1.2 in the rear....I have them as straight as possible.

This setup on the Nismos + 15mm spacer would be 9.5mm farther out than mine right now.
