Looking at the car closely it looks like the wheels could do with sitting a little further out of the wheel arches, may be 10mm all round with longer wheels bolts to match.
And helps chuck more cr?p down the side and onto those nice rear arches ?, but will definitely look better ?don't like messing about with spacers personally as it changes the suspension geometry
Yes I had seen both videos, I was only ever thinking of about 10 mm each side as not to put to much strain on the suspension components.
wheel spacers 20mm
Eibach S90-4-20-013
even checks it does not rub the arches
BTW dont listen with audio on. spooky.
So clearance behind the BBS wheels wont allow for a standard hub-centric spacer of 15mm will it? It would require fitting of longer studs instead - More effort than id like. Enkeis might be on the cards instead then...20 mm Spacers…
I measured...
Original studs front are 21,5 mm.
Original studs rear are 23,5 mm.
The "recess" on the BBS wheels are 3,5 mm (because of the outstanding ornaments).
So the front fits well, but (for me) the back "spacers" ought to be 22 (or 25mm) mm instead of 20 mm.
The 20 mm spacer might fit the rear - but the original studs touch or nearly touch the wheel…
Notice: (measured) front - space tire-sidewall to chassis outside is 20mm, rear is 25mm.
So if i would use spacers, i would do 20mm front - and 25mm rear...

Sounds like a great plan ?I'm thinking the 20mm hub centric spacer should do the trick, front & rear. I'm planning to keep the 18s BBS wheels and probably change to a 235/40/18 tires later once stock PS4S are worn out. Drop + spacer and I'd probably call it a day! ?![]()
Insert OneHp manifesto here ......Anyone using 15mm hubcentric spacer on long studs like this one? ?

I'm thinking if I'll go to 20mm or 15mm is fine![]()
Looks so much better.20mm spacer from Japan Racing.

E.g. BMW are different because they use a double pivot, there is no straightforward king pin or scrub radius.Have a think about how much this can change on stock cars. They are always offering different wheel sets as options or on various models with more poke
Do you know for sure if the 7mm spacers are ok to fit with the standard stud?A 7mm spacer is a good option for those not wanting too greater impact on handling but wanting to improve the visual appearance. The H&R 7mm spacer can be fitted without changing wheel studs I believe? They tell me its also the spacer they haver fitted on the vehicle photographed for their lowering springs

you can get them from Tarmac sportz, they've got some in right nowWhere did you get these from?
How did you get on with this setup? Any rubbing when lowered?View attachment 10733 View attachment 10731
This is from KSP in Japan (20 mm front and 25 mm back) Looks much better, also waiting for the Eibachs to arrive![]()
