12mm or 15mm Spacers for Style 189

dghits26 · 06-22-2012, 09:32 AM

I wanted to know what would be a good set for the 189s . Right now i have kw1s , but not dropped really low. They are prob just a little lower than the sport suspension. Alot of ppl ask why don't i go lower 1)I live in NY , and 2)i driving a xi which had a huge gap compared to what i have now. So for now im content.

I wanted to know if anyone has pics of how this set up will look like?, and also what you recommend doing ?

Thx for the help ..

the front you could easily get away with 12s as they are 8s at et34 and the rear atleast 15s since they are 8.5 at et37. 10mm will require grinding down the front hub so they fit flush to the rotor face.

I think most people will tell you 12 in the front, 15 in the rear. However, I always find it good to measure just in case.

10 or 12 up front 20 in the rear.

i have 10 upfront 15 in the rear. its not super flush but looks much better.

Cool does anyone have pics..

Will i need to go lower for the spacers to look ok...My fear is that it will look goofy cause i am not slammed.

Is it true that spacers are not good and even dangerous for the wheel baring ?

thx
