R53 stock suspension, 15X8+36, & 225/45/15s
R53 stock suspension, 15X8+36, & 225/45/15s
I've searched a bit and am pretty sure the answer is no, but I figured I would make sure for clarity. Plus this thread will hopefully show up for future searchers...
Anyway, I've ordered a set of 6ULs in 15X8+36 form. I also have a set of 225/45/15 Hankook RS3's on the way. These will be a bit shorter than stock, but they're also only for autocross, so I'm not too concerned with the diameter difference.
With a stock suspension, will this setup require a spacer?
Thanks.

Check out this thread and the links it has: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...autocross.html
FYI The 6ul in 15x8 will require a spacer in the rear. Even though it may seem like everything clears perfectly fine while stationary, clearance change quite a bit once the suspension starts working. This is speaking from experience, as i have had the 15x8 gen2 6uls for qutie some time now. Run atleast a 3mm spacer, but the 5mm are easier to find.
