H&R spacer sizing...lowered and 245/275 PSS tires
#16
I've got 5mm up front and 15mm in the rear on 245/275 combo. I'm tucked on BC coilovers. I'm rolled with the slightest pull in the rear and could easily fit another 5mm. I've got tons of room in the front though.

Interesting. With the 20mm in front and 15mm in the rear, are your F and R wheels equally flush? ie: With the 20F/15R spacers, is the rear more sunken (less flush) than the front? Or is the front more sunken than the rear when stock (I'm not near my car right now - can't measure)? Do you have pics? Thx.

Thanks Apex, yours is the first example I've been able to find of someone who successfully ran a 20mm rear spacer with 275 PSS wheels (275/30, I assume?). I can live with rubbing on extreme potholes or dips - looks like it's time to place an order and roll/shave my fenders. BTW, were you lowered in the rear at all when you ran that setup, or stock height?

I think the rear stock height wasn't to bad esp with spacers. I rub on the front when going over pot holes etc and when I turn my wheel all the way in reverse.

Good to know, Kings. I've not fully decided on a suspension setup yet, but have strongly considered doing the same - Swifts in just the front, and leaving the back stock height. I'd choose the more aggressive offset over the lower rear as well...
