Anyone else rubbing with spacers?

Game · 07-16-2023, 08:15 PM

Haven’t heard of this issue across this platform yet, however after putting 15mm spacers up front, I’m rubbing against the driver’s inner fender liner when reversing at full right turn.

I’m also driving currently on Pirelli Pzero’s rather than the Michelins I just had on.

Anyone else experience this issue?

Are those 20's you're running up front or 19's?

19’s.

826m wheels on Pirelli’s.

Can you please move this to the G87 M2 wheel/suspension section.

Doesn't that give you an offset of et5? That's pretty extreme. An easy fix should be switching to 10mm spacers.

Yep there’s a YouTuber that got 15mm spacers with car lowered max on KW HAS and he got some rubbing when reversing just as you describe. Is yours lowered?

That’s the recommended spacer size by IND and not considered their “aggressive” setup.

Not lowered.

Going to make a new thread in the G87 wheel section since this one got moved here. Pics included.

Yeah will be nice to hear from others on stock suspension who are running 15mm spacers in the front … I was under the impression that 15mm (offset of 5) in the front should be free of any rubbing

Yeah I was shocked. Never had rubbing issues with a car on stock suspension.
