A 10mm would put you just about flush if not poking just a tad but with your tire size and some fender shaving you should be able to pull it off with no problem. I tried the 15 mm and I would need to stretch the tire. I wish I would have known they had a +39 for the rear, I would have ordered that instead of the +45. Next set will definitely be dialed in

My fenders are shaved, I think it will be within a mm or two from being perfect or atleast close enough for my taste I can t wait Im going to swap the studs out tommorrow. The rear at +39 is really close so ill be at +34 with the spacer and +29 in the front

thx for sharing pics, your ride looks good. i believe 07350frost and i agree with your chrome statement lol (we are not chrome fans).

Loving it Jay, glad to have earned your business, the Vossen's look great on there. I am glad we went with the machined silver over the machined black.

I honestly couldn t be happier and Im not just saying that cause they are on my car. The ride is great!!! I went to Circuit Motorsports in the vendor section and tristan hooked me up. He also changed my kit up and put different springs in with a lower spring rate I think 8 & 6 k so I would have a better ride. I am very pleased with my decision!

No matter, we can stagger your AWD as well, let us know if you need a price.
