What size spacers would bring my EOM wheels flush with the body? And can I use spacers with the EOM UK black lug nuts? And can I run 35 height tires with the spacers without rubbing? Thanks for the help!

Hello! We have spacers for you!
27mm front and rear are a perfect fit on the stock suspension and stock wheels and tires for the 2017+ TypeR

How about with the UK black lug nuts? And also, can I run 35 height tires without rubbing? Thanks for your time.

The lugs nuts do not matter (as long as they are OEM spec) The PERRIN spacers come with lug nuts for the spacers and you still use your lugs for the wheels.
If you have 35 tall tires you might run into rubbing issues, we recommend doing the proper measurements before you get any spacers.

Highly, highly recommend against doing this. Not only are you significantly increasing the offset - increasing torque steer, you are also putting an extra component and adding a failure point.

Please explain? As long as the spacers are Hub-centric there is nothing to worry about, basically no different then adding wider wheels and or tires. You are not adding crazy wide spacers like 45mm+. The 20mm and 27mm have very little affect on how the car acts. Having a lower offset also provides a better foot print.

A +27mm spacer on the stock wheels would be the equivalent of +37 offset. That gets into the area where rubbing may start being an issue, especially if someone chooses to go with a 35 profile sidewall to get more cushion than stock. As far as handling characteristics, this article explains that lower offset leads to higher torque steer on these cars: https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cu...5683452/smaller-lighter-wheels-hurt-handling/. Though debated, the general consensus is not to go below +45 on our cars.

That's a great article! they are not wrong. However! for the daily driver or even weekend track warrior most people will not notice the difference and or will they notice the "added" torque steer.

Additionally the 27mm will not have rubbing issues if on OE Wheel/Tires and stock suspension, Yes if they go with a larger sidewall there is a chance of rubbing.

Either way great Info!

Thank you!
