Spacers with swift springs
 

Been doing a lot of research on springs lately and have settled on a set of swifts.
Pretty amped after reading all the reviews and seeing pics.

After I drop it a bit, I know I'm going to want to space the wheels out a bit. I've never put spacers on any of my cars before so I'm curious what the best brands are, which ones would be best with 20" rays, and obviously accounting for the front 1.2" drop and rear 1" drop.

Leaning towards 20mm all around but don't know if they will rub at all or if I will have to roll my fenders. Been seeing mixed setups with stock wheels (15/20, 20/20, etc.)

Thanks guys!

I am assuming you mean 19" rays? What size tires are you running?

Yes my b. Lol.
I'm running Front: 245/40ZR19 and Rear: 275/35ZR19

20mm front and rear will be fine. Shouldn't have any issues rubbing or anything.

20mm front and 25mm rear will be even better. Shouldn't have any issues rubbing or anything. I went this route before lowering and the rear looked very aggressive. Once I was lowered on coilovers, I retained the spacers and now I'm not aggressive at all. So, that's something to consider since you're gonna be running Swift springs. Oh... and buy H&R spacers... Don't cheap out on these

Thanks for the responses and help with this! I'm gonna see if I can find pics of 20/25 on swifts. I've seen 20/20 on swift and love how it looks. Just was unsure about rubbing or rolling fenders.

Was literally my next question lol. H&R is the brand I've been looking at and will most likely go with.
Any brands that I should avoid?

I actually disagree on the "quality spacer" thing. I have had (and currently have) generic spacers and they are fine. Just make sure they are made of a quality grade of aluminum, are hubcentric, and have properly graded studs. I am certain 100 people will come here and tell or link me to stories of catastrophic failure - but every single one I have seen is someone trying to use a 10mm bolt on spacer which is like, 2mm thick where the nut rests. That is ridiculous and anyone using something like that is sitting on a timebomb with a short fuse.... but at sizes like 20mm, this is not a worry for me.

Still doing a bunch of research on this.
With 20/20 would I be fine to do all DRM or should I do DRM rear and DRS front? Been reading 15mm DRMs in the front don't work but not sure about 20mm ones.

Thanks again fam!

True. But why take chances... especially one where a wheel may come off loose.

I went 20/25mm Eibach on my touring...15/20mm Eibach on the Niz.

I was wondering if installing the 20mm H&R spacers would require alterations on the existing studs..?!

:confused:

I purchased extended studs!

From what I've gathered online:
Anything smaller than a 20mm on the front requires one of the DRS kits and DRM ones aren't useable.
20mm and higher on the front you can go DRS or DRM

On the rear (from what I've read) you can do any size and use DRM or DRS, whichever you want.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

For the front or rear? And does it require it?

I've read 15mm needs DRS but would a 20mm DRM work on the front?

I have the H&R spacers and their extended studs. I have had them on for at least 4 years and I have been tracking with them on the rear for the last year. No worries at all. Z1 also sells spacers and extended studs.
