Trying to bring the wheels/tires closer to the lip without rubbing, would it be safe to run 10mm in front and 15mm in rear? This is purely for cosmetics and which brand of spacer would you recommend?
Thanks. |
I'm not sure what you mean by safe...but a 10mm is never a good idea. Our wheels are hubcentric, you can get away with a 5 mm in the front without losing enough of the lip, but a 10 won't work. You need to either replace the front desk covers with turner motorsport have extenders, or use a 12.5 mm spacer. Turner actually has a pretty good ride up on space or selection, measuring, and getting a good sense of what will fit.
I don't know the 3.0 well enough to really speak to it, but those wheel sizes are extremely conservative (small) to begin with, and I don't think 12 mm in the front or 15 in the rear is going to present much of an issue
