Wheel poking further out than fender.

If i wanted a little bit of poke and didn't want to run spacers should the offset range be between 25 to 30 on 18s at 9.5 width?

Thanks for the help I bought and installed them, and they feel great fitment looks good and I’m on 245/35 all season.

Happen to know how much +5 sidewall effects the speedometer?

Yes it has a difference of +2 mph on the dash. So if my car dash says 70 gps reads 72 mph. But this is mostly on higher speeds can’t really tell in normal city driving.

I'll be selling my garage line spacers and black lugs soon if someone wants a jump on them DM me.

I prefer a tucked look and opted for 20mm fronts and 25mm rears. I didn't care for the poke look of the 27 and 30mm sizes. I am lowered on eibach pro kit.

That looks nice,
Did you have to cut the studs on your front ones ?

Yes I shortened the studs by 4mm, I also did some slight relieving in the wheel pockets of protruding areas in the casting for good measure. IMHO It was Well worth the effort.

I had to grind front and rear studs. I used a large Milwaukee grinder w a 8.5” grinding wheel with a rubber backing. This allows a nice even reduction with out overheating the studs. I used a small pneumatic angle grinder with a stone grinder to clean up the first few threads with a slight bevel. Easy job, just take your time and use a depth caliper or scale to measure. Good luck, post pics when you finish!

Hey guys,
Im currently looking into installing some H+R Trak+ spacers. Im currently running Motegi MR131s on Eibach Sportlines. Just wondering if anyone can advise me whether or not I’ll need to do any shaving on the studs?

Thanks in advance!

I hope not, I just ordered 30mm H&R spacers and I'll return them if I have to. I think the shorter spacers you may. Call up a retail outlet who sells them, they might be able to tell you. I ordered from @MAPerformance

Just had the 30mm H&R spacers installed on my stock 2019 CTR. Perfect fitment, looks amazing for my taste. No rubbing running the OE tire size on Hankook Ventus. Touched 100mph on the drive home - no vibration. Maybe a small feel of torque steer running through the gears but not nearly enough to notice unless paying close attention or enough to make me feel unconfident. I’ll report back after a few hundred miles with feedback and better photos
