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.
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
I hear you. I've run spacers once in my life on a Porsche which were OEM items. I just don't like the idea.E.g. BMW are different because they use a double pivot, there is no straightforward king pin or scrub radius.
Usually more poke on factort wheel options is done with very little et change and by using wider larger wheels but even so, while it looks better, it does not always drive better. Because cars are developed on one set-up, than marketing adds their bling wheels and take a big surcharge. BMW has done more work lately on developing each optional chassi / wheel variant and it shows (before there used to one configuration that was best).
End of day, changing ET changes the intended (well engineered) handling of the GRY and I personally would never put (20mm) spacers on this car (on the front). The GRY has lots of space for wider rims and that would be my recommendation if one wants to improve looks/stance (within reason), maybe with a small et change to 40 or so. 20mm spacer = et25 on stick rim and that has my engineering alarm bell ringing...
But to each their own, I just want to inform there may be consequences one perhaps did not consider before.
I can't speak of GRY experience, but on other McPherson cars I definitely notice the difference, 5mm I notice already, 10mm it gets annoying, 20mm is dead awful. But this is in rutted road country Sweden, not noticeable perhaps in Germany, that is until you hit that bad road rut where you didn't expect it... I suppose most people don't even realise why they need to wrestle the wheel sometimes.I hear you. I've run spacers once in my life on a Porsche which were OEM items. I just don't like the idea.
My point was, like most things, you can read waaaay too much into it. The change would be so small either positive or negative in most cases and for most drivers
Doing this setup. Looks like the spacers will come here first before the carAnyone fitted 15mm spacers?
Where did you get these from?20mm spacer from Japan Racing.

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![]()
No problem with this setup. Runs perfect.How did you get on with this setup? Any rubbing when lowered?
