you bought these from a local, MONISMO......

go with a smaller spacer, that tire in the back looks HUGE.....you can sell those and go with a 30 series.

last option, run more camber

Do u think the back of the tire will hit anything with a smaller spacer?

wow that tire looks like it belongs on a cayenne. You need like 25 or 30 series tires

Either lose the spacer, more camber or change the tire. The tire is atleast over 28 inches tall. How is your VDC?

I dont see the rim hitting the strut if you lose the spacer.

I mention VDC because you are so much taller now in the rear tire overall stock tires OD.

Did you ask original owner why he used spacers?

I found one of his pictures and it looks like he had the spacer in the front.

Ni55anPat · 11-02-2012, 11:20 AM

I'd run a 15mm, that should help with the rubbing...you're probably on stock springs, a non-aggressive camber setting...thats why

snowhite370 · 11-02-2012, 11:33 AM

Yeah he used the spacers because he had the big brake kit. But i have the stock brakes. So i might not even need spacers

What are the offsets?

Lose the spacer in the interim but you are going to need Camber and some fender work to run 315's

dirTy_shoeZ · 11-02-2012, 04:02 PM

start with a smaller sidewall man, thats not needed. and then bring down the spacers and if you have to put some camber into it. but first those tires are to big, you need a 30 series messing with that size tire even a 25 series since its a 20" wheel
