AdrianL Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 So I've found out where the rubbing noise is coming from on track days! The fuel filler shield.. So rather than getting new wheels, I'm hoping I can get some spacers to alleviate the issue. Is anyone running spacers with the above tyres? and if so what size and have you got any pictures of what yours looks like? Thanks Adrian Quote
KyleR Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Depends what spec your wheels are. Is there any particular reason you choose those tyre sizes? What's on the front? Quote
AdrianL Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 Not sure. Is there an easy way to find out without measuring? Those size came with the car, though I do really like them. 235/35/19 on the front. Quote
veilside z Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Running those sizes on 20s buddy though a wider body Quote

There may be a sticker on the inside barrel of the wheels. Those tyre sizes are crazy, no idea why anyone would fit those. 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 are the typical sizes for 19's. 1 Quote
Jetpilot Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 If your tracking it I would run some std rays or similar light 18's with something sticky just for track work, the difference in feel and handling is night and day over heavy 19's. If you dont want to go down that route I would wait till yours need replacing and get a 275/245 combo on. Quote
AdrianL Posted August 6, 2016 Author Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) I'm thinking track wheels may be a better option. What do people think on spacer sizes? I'm worried if I got spacers for the rears they'll catch on those arches. If they do I'll go down the track wheels route... Edited August 6, 2016 by AdrianL Quote
Jetpilot Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 Dont waste your money on spacers buddy, put it towards some track wheels and tyres. Incidentally, have you had any alignment done? Quote

Yeah thinking that may be a better option! I had some done probably about 6 months ago, but probably due to get sorted again. Quote
