285 square with KW CS

M3 Number 86 · 05-06-2015, 04:08 PM

I've just gotten a (FREE hand me down) set of 285 TD's but have KW CS suspension with its added value of having clearance issues due to the helper spring. I've seen (was it Slicer?) the post of swapping springs but I don't want to have to go that route for just testing some tires for one time use.

Has anyone used 10 to 12 mm spacers on their cars? I currently have 275 square with 5mm spacer and clearance is fine. It looks like I can fit a 10mm or possibly a 12mm with the 275 as of right now with my camber settings.

Anyone have experience with 10 or 12 mm spacers?

Thanks in advance.

I run 12 or 12.5 (whatever Turner sells) in front with 275 and ET25 wheels. The 5mm will clear the coilover nuts, but I went with a wider track and put the 5mm in the rear.

Good to hear THANKS!

My camber is at -3 right now. What is your camber set at?
