Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 25d Posted 09/11/12 10:47 AM Share Posted 09/11/12 10:47 AM Well I think I want the front a bit more aggressive anyway because +42 compared to +38 10" rears just doesn't look right. I was thinking either a 5mm to make it just work, or a 15-20mm to look a bit better. But I know trainer was scrubbing out with 245/35 with +28 (I think) so even with 15mm spacers I'll be out to +27 and I don't want it to rub. Any chance of getting a 10mm slip on spacer or way too risky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using 20x8.5+7 scrubs a little over big bumps I did 20x8.5+17 and no scrubbing whatsoever.... Both with 225/35/20 tyre !! And by that I mean 20x8.5+42 with a 35 and 25 mm spacer !! If I were you I would go 15mm bolt on spacer if you don't want to go as far as a 25mm, you need to remember tyre plays a big part also !! You said u had a 225 tyre? 15mm spacer will be fine Edited 09/11/12 11:13 AM by j.d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 25d Posted 09/11/12 09:53 PM Share Posted 09/11/12 09:53 PM (edited) Yea thanks j.d. Clearly if +17 works with 225/35 then add 10mm of tyre each side and take it in to +27 and should be all good! But Trainer yours was rubbing with +28 wasn't it? I think your front might be a bit lower than mine aswell^^Looks good man. What tyres are on the rear? 275/30? Does it rub at all on big bumps?

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 25d Posted 10/11/12 01:11 AM Share Posted 10/11/12 01:11 AM ^^ that's what I thought from the pics. You don't happen to know what yours measure across trainer? I have a second pair of dunlop sport maxx GT's in 265/30 that are going on next and they measure about 10.5 inches wide so they look quite wide, but comparing that to 245/35 achilles that measure 9" wide and fit perfect on an 8" rim makes me think that I'd need a tyre that's at least 11" wide to avoid any stretch. But then will probably face issue with rubbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
