I am trying to fix up the suspension/offset on my 06 Coupe. I want to drop it on Tein S-Techs to get an overall 1" lower. But if I want to get wheel spacers too, what type/sizes should I go with?

My wheel and tire setup is 19x8 with 245/35 on front and 245/40 on rear. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!

 

25mm hubcentric front spacers, 30mm hubcentric rear spacers

 

20mm front, 25mm rear.

 

Just measure the distance from the side of the tire to the fender to get an idea of what size you need/want.

 

drop it first, then get the spacers once you can measure the distance like herrshaft said.

 

^ what Anynigma and herrshaft said.

Pretty simple.

 

that sounds good ^^

 

I'm glad I said the right thing, but as a disclaimer, I have not done this. Just reading what others have said, the consensus is that your spacing is HIGHLY dependent on ride height, and how your new suspension (whether dropped or coilovers installed) affects your wheel position.

So definitely do the suspension first then get your flush on.

I've seen people use door stops or some other wedge to measure the gap between the fender and the tire. And I've also read: try to get your car to sit an an odd angle at a driveway or on a small but sudden hill (to simulate the suspension bottoming out and the wheel at the highest point it will be) and then measure your gap. This will ensure you don't rub when you hit bumps or enter driveways. You'll need to do this with the front and rear wheels of course. Good luck.

 

Most people will go 25 F&R but some will go 25-F 30-R.
You may have to roll ur fenders deoending on how much neg camber ur running.
Here are some old pics of my car when I had 25mm spacers back & front.



Since you're going to be running at least 25mm make sure they have the hubcentric ring and have their own studs installed.
I was rocking the ebay versions for over 2 years with no issues.
They look to be the same ones that are on G35everything.com just less expensive.
Of course you can't go wrong with the Ichicbas or H&Rs too.
Any of these in the list below will work for ya.

I dont think that he is running OEM 19's, being that it says ASA 19's in his signature.
So without knowing the offset you cant reccomend a spacer size.

Op, just do what has been mentioned above, drop the car then measure the space between the wheel/tire and the fender. Load the suspension so you can see how much room you will have when the suspension compresses.
