Default Anyone want to swap 20mm spacers for 8mm spacers?

I've got 8mm H&R spacers on the front of the TT and I need 20mm spacers to clear my new wheels.

What wheels did you get? What's the front offset?

Default Kahn RSR's with 37 offset. Temporarily I have moved my 25mm from the rear to the front.

I put the 8mm's on the rear for now. With the 25mm spacers I clear the Stoptechs by 9.8mm. Consequently, I could get by with 17mm spacers but I would feel better with 20mm spacers.

Any issues you can think of running 20mm or 25mm on the front?

Default Gotcha...20mm will be fine on the front. 17mm offset in front is pretty aggressive...

what size tires are you running? Some tire brands of the same size will vary in width. So there may be a chance of rubbing on the fender. If any rubbing will occur, it'll be on the inside rear portion of your wheel well.

15mm spacers on mine...Nowhere close to rubbing with S03's...I agree, 20's should be good.
