evilscorp Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 How much will I ruin my car's handling with 20 - 30mm spacers running Front 19 x 9.5 ET 20 Rear 19 x 10.5 ET 20, 245 and 275 tyres. She's gonna be fat soon but still like her to handle well, just a new alignment? or better off forking out on bigger wheels and ditching the spacers (may do this as I do enjoy the work emotion 2P new boys 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Also have started hearing a squishing noise from one of the rear shocks, no sign of leakage but generally is this the sign of impending doom. Always used to run hard setup but have backed it off the last 6months to softest setting on the BC's. May have to get a custom set made or KW v3.

fake ben taylor Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Id bin the bc's even if they werent making a noise can we bash budget coilovers in here? Lol Spacers or equivalent offset wheel doesnt matter either way. The moving of the centre line of the wheel in relation to the hub will affect the scrub radius which can have a detrimental effwct on handling. Youre always better, if handling is your goal, using adjustable arma to push the whole hub out Edited February 25, 2016 by fake ben taylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OllyB Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 How do you qualify for membership of this elite group? What are the entry criteria? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 That^^^ Also why do you want to use so much spacing? To achieve a flush look you on the zed need an ET of +10-15. So if you have a wheel with ET +20 and use 30mm spacer the real ET is -10! The wheel/tyre will be poking past the fender! I know the stance/flush guys do this for look I addition to stretching but it's illegal(poke) and has no performance. Similarly a wheel with ET +20 with 20mm spacer gives a total ET0. You will need a 5-10mm spacer up front and 5-10mm. If you want slight stagger the 10mm front 5mm rear. Can't go wrong with KWs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fake ben taylor Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Entry criteria imo Handling and performamce is the ultimate goal, comfort and stance can gtf Track/drift/race cars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately everything will be up for grabs this weekend. It's time to move on I think Bigger and better things? So so. It's more sentimental than anything as it's a no expense spared unfinished project my step dad has owned for last 5/6 years. He's hit a point of breaking it as he can't finish it and it's worth more to be than the zed, so zed will need to go as much as I don't want it to.
