Spacers
See what you guy's think:
Old setup:
Eagle alloys 16x7.5// Nitto nt450 215/40/16
Plenty of room.
New setup::thumbup:
Daily driver/ Rota slip's with the nittos on them
Racing/ eagle's with new falken azenis 215/45/16
Rub's a little on the front inner sub-frams on both side's with the race setup.
Back and top have lot's of room. Thinking of doing a 1/4 inch spacer on the front for just racing till i get my rota subzero.
Any pro's or con's with spacers.
Thanks

Well the Falken Azenis in the 215/45x16" are not 215 wide. THey are more like 225 or 235 wide. Very wide tires.
If you are rubbing on the inner fenders you can use a 3mm spacer safely, since that's what I use. You want at least 7-8 full turns and I get 8 turns.
