I just installed ecs tuning spacers 12.5mm F and 17.5mm R dropped on H&R springs. Happy with the results! Felt a lot less body roll for sure!

Any rubbing issues? Thanks.

IMO 15/18 would have far too much poke on a stock suspension and look a bit off appearance-wise...Also if you decide to go with this much poke make sure your rockers and lower rear fenders are protected as the paint will wear fairly quickly due to road rash....

I went with 13 / 15 (stock suspension) and they are fairly flush with the fenders...I personally wouldn't go any more than this on a stock suspension...I also added splash guards for paint protection...

Tadda, what splash guards did you use? would you recommend them?

Splash Guards

These splash guards are one of the first things I added beside PPF applied to the front bumper area...After 2000 miles I still have absolutely no road rash or pitting of paint behind the wheels as a result...Also nice to not have mud splash ups....They are also a must have if your going to add wheel spacers to widen your stance...And I don't find them at all distracting from the appearance and hardly notice them at all!

Here is the Splash Guard Thread posted here on the forum where these are discussed in detail...

Fair warning everyone. My spacers will be coming off unless going to a show or event.... car wobbles in the rear on hard launches with 13mm spacers.

No issues with mine during hard launches or high speeds...

What spacers do you have installed and did you inspect them to make sure they are seated properly?

I am using BMS spacers. I am positive that they are seated correctly. I am above stock power levels though. During hard spins its worse.

Interesting...I recall carguy11 mentioning he had experienced some wobble or chatter with his BMS spacers?? Perhaps a batch of BMS spacers weren't machined flat?

I just received these last week, it’s the new batch. They’re coming off of my car as soon as I get the spare time. I’d rather deal with the gap lol

Im good on that. Had the same issues with other cars in the past. I’m just going to take my own advice and not use spacers lol

What are some alternative brands for wheel spacers other than burger tuning. I'm looking for 10mm and 15mm but they are on back order till March.

bonoss forged lightweight plus wheel spacers/adapters would be a good choice.

Anyone know if an M14x1.25x40 lug bolt will work with a 10mm spacer? I think the OEM length is 28, but I'm wondering if 2mm extra length is a bad thing. I believe ECS uses 40mm for their 10mm spacers.

I have a90 supra which has 5x112mm bolt pattern. I recently purchased apex fl-5 that has 5x120mm bolt pattern. plus hub 72.56mm center bore. What can I do?
