Today I installed KW V2's. I am running on stock tire size 205/45/17. My rims are R112 7" / ET48 . And I needed 12mm spacers for the fronts to go low enough. But if you're not going for the slammed look, 5mm's will be enough. Don't forget to buy longer bolts!

 

If you keep the same wheels that I have, you'll need at least a 5mm spacer. If you go lower, you'll need larger spacers.

 

205/45/17 tires .. Factory run flats with 5 mm spacers up front with kw1 coilovers and Hotchkis rear camber arms. I'm at 23 1/2 " from wheel arches to street all the way around and 4" clearance under the car. I also had the shakes but when I went lower the shakes disappeared. The profile pic shows the car at 4 " front and 5" rear street height. No rubbing

 

How much thread do you have left? I'm running vmaxx at 23 all around and want to upgrade my setup but keep my stance. Looking at v1s or st's. also how is your ride at that height? I just can't handle how bouncy my car is.

 

9 treads leftover on the front and 4 in the rear. I have jcw sway bars front and rear with the jcw strut bar.. My car runs really tight even with jcw suspension it came with.. Overall it's a tad bouncy but once you find a good turn or on ramp you forget all about any bounce.. I've always liked my cars to run tight and have great road feel and feed back. My car rides like its on rails and I don't mind the run flats.

 

Any idea why you got the shakes? Is there a common or easy solution?

 

I just lowered my '07 MCS (KW V1's) and I went a little lower than I wanted to...but I can't drive the car anyway because the inner tire rubs against the coilover adjustment perch. I looked at the 5mm spacer, but decided to go with the 10mm instead to push the wheel out a little more flush with the fender well (will probably be switching to wheel studs as well-currently on extended lugs). I'm running the stock 17x7 48 offset wheels. Tucked about an inch in the front and .5 in the rear. Pics to come soon. KW's were revalved (rebuilt) prior to installation and feel SOOOO MUCH better than stock.

 

I run 215/45 PS3s on the stock 17x7 ET48 S-Lite wheels with my KW V2s set at max ride height. I get minor rubbing against the adjustment perch on the fronts. No camber plates or RCAs installed.

 

i know this post is old, but I care! Thanks.
