anyone running 15x10 6ul on an r53?

I am going to bump my fronts only and run staggered, currently I run 15x8 square with 225 re71/rs4 or 205 hoosiers. I'm going to run the 15x8 in the rear and go up to 245 rival S 1.5 up front, and 275 A7's up front depending on the event.

 

Are you allowed to cut the car? We had to cut the car and add flares to run 15 x 9 and 225 R7s.



15 x 9 6ul and 225 R7s

 

yeah but I do not plan on it, I already run 225's on 15x8 and I did not have to cut

 

What size spacers do you run with 225s?

 

I'm on 225 Rivals on a 15X8 +35 Kosei K5R.

No spacers needed in front. Rear spacer necessary due to trailing arm. 1/4" currently but I had to grind the arm down a little.

 

10mm up front so the wheel clears the coilovers, none needed in back but I run 2mm anyway so the wheels have a little breathing room, it's real tight at the trailing arms. I tried to fit r56 trailing arms, no way I could do it without spacers

 

I want to move to 15X9 6ULs and 225 Rivals up front for this season. I am on swift springs and bilsteins b4. I am currently running 15x8 6ULs with 205 Rivals all around with 5mm spacer in back only.

Do 15x9s with 225s up front really require that much spacing? I know there is no 10mm readily available. My choice is likely a 15mm from Way. However, I feel like there is enough clearance to only use 5mm.

 

10mm are the esiest to find! eBay has tons

 

Thanks! Didn't think of ebay. I think these will work well. They are hubcentric without hub centering lip. This way I won't need centering rings.

I prefer the ones with the centering ring, but a 10mm with a centering ring wont fit a mini hub unless you grind about 1mm off the hub ring

 

So I need to grind about 1mm no matter what with any 10mm? How about these ones that are advertised to fit a mini?

Also, found a set with a hub for the wheel to center on:

measure your hub centering lip you'll see what I mean

 

So there is no space left with 10mm to center the wheel? Is it still an issue with studs? I would think a non hub centric wheel like 6UL would be centered once the lugs are tightened.

 

How many mm is the difference between gaps with R53 trailing arms and with R56 trailing arms?

 

Maybe 4-5 mm difference but it may depend on what diameter wheel.

With my R53 using 15x8" wheels et+36 I need a 3mm thin rear spacer to clear my rear lower trailing arm or it scrapes by 1-2mm. This is the minimum but I only do short runs of less than 60 sec. Probably a little more is better for cooling if tracked.
