How much is Speedo off with that and what spacers are you using.
245/35-20 is 12.25mm (3.7%) taller than OEM. Those tires should make the actual speed is about 4% faster than the speedo read. The spacers are 7075 Aluminum Alloy CNC custom made.

Where can you purchase the spacers from?

My spacers are custom made from the local shop (in Indonesia). I gave them a simple technical draw and they made it with CNC machine.

I was thinking about going with 245 or 255/35/20, whats the purpose of the spacer?

For aesthetics and make the car heavier to reduce wheel spin during hard launches on the drag strip.

I just had Kumho Ecsta 4X II 245-35-20 all seasons installed for my R. Prelim impressions is the car handles pot holes better but you can feel that you are riding high and car doesn’t feel as firmly planted as before. But good compromise for northeast, BJs team did great and they paid lot of attention to the car which was great.

Thinking about 255/35R20 as well as they are noticeably more affordable.. for example for Michelin AS 3+.. Anyone pick 255/35 over 245/35 and want to share their experiences so far?
