Hey Everyone,

I found Eibach spacers online and they seem really great, but I am not sure what size to get. I think the lowest they have is 10mm and the highest is 30mm. Does anybody know what size will make the rear tire's flush with the fender edge or at least the same as the front tires? Thanks!

with the stock rear tires (granted the wheels are a half inch bigger but the TIRES are the same) a 15mm is flush at least for me...if you were running stock i'd go with a 10 personally, but either one will look good.

 

I have 12mm in the back, and 10mm in front with stock wheels.

did you replace the lug bolts FP

 

[quote=old man]Yes I did with lug bolts 10mm longer.

 

Yea I have aftermarket chrome wheels. So maybe a 15-20mm might work. I'm guessing you also need longer lug bolts as FP has done. Where can I get those?

If you buy the eibach kits I believe they include lugs, not sure of the size on them though. I know there have been a couple people that have caused some issues by putting too long on the rear. (messes up the ebrake or somethin) Needswings has 10s and 15s on their site, I am pretty sure they would be able to tell you if the included ones will work.

EDIT ::: This Thread has info on the brake issue and some lug measurements, just look for the big red letters.

 

Can you get behind the car and measure approximately how far out you woudl like the wheels to sit and you will have the size spacer you need.

Go with the hub centric Eibach's, they are a little more expensive than some others out there, but trust me, I went through it once and you get what you pay for, IMO.

 

Ahh, thanks for the help guys!

If they don't come with the extended bolts, you can buy them here. You will need the 55mm ball head for OEM wheels.
