Tire upgrade help & Spacers
 
So currently I have stock advans on my car with the 19" nismo rims and 15/20 (F/B) H&R DRS spacers.

Since my conversion to FI, I'm looking for a meatier tire and will be going to 275/305s in the Spring.

The thing is, I don't want the tires to protrude but I don't want the "sunken" stock look either. I would like to keep the outside of the tires flush (in the true sense of the word) with my fenders.

Should I downgrade to 10/15mm spacers? Anyone have experience with this?
I tried guestimating with a measuring tape but I get the feeling I'm not going to know until the tires go on.

Just buy them and see. If it doesn't work you already have the 15mm. Sell the 20 and pick up a 10. No big deal.

Was just curious if anyone else had experience. I'd rather not buy another set of spacers if I don't have to. I guess 2 10mm spacers won't break the bank but still.

No worries.

I have 15s all around and 305s in the back. They are perfect! I'm running 265 in the front and there is enough room for 275s. I agree with syno....just try it and see.:tup:
