I just bought a set of axis mod 7's in 20X9f and 20X10r for my 03 coupe with brembo's but the fronts won't clear the brakes. I'm not sure what the offsets are but from what I can find online they might be 37f and 38r? The rear wheels fit great and just clear the brakes but the fronts look like they need about a one inch spacer.

so...my question is, if I use a 25mm spacer will the front wheels be out too far? I think it will be ok but when I was looking at it the car was jacked up so the suspension was all the way extended.

 

anybody?

 

For the coupe?...having a 37 offset in the front to begin with, and adding a 25mm spacer will bring the final offset to 12mm offset.

12mm could be too aggressive and might require some fender rolling, that's just my guess. Not to mention that you'll need some spacers for the rear also to make it proportional to the aggressive stance in the front.

 

what would you use? It looked like I might be able to clear the brakes with a 3/4" spacer....it would be close though. I thought if I can get the fronts to work then I would buy some spacers for the rear, maybe a 15 or 20mm?
Also I plan on getting coilovers in the next month or two so hopefully it won't rub as long as I roll the fenders.

Thanks for the help!

 

using a 20mm will give you a 17 offset...that should work fine

 

get some 20mm spacers front and rear and it'll clear the brakes and look great as well.
-GP-

 

cool, thanks for the help! I'll post some pics as soon as my spacers come in and I get them mounted.

 

Well....I had already ordered some 1" spacers before I posted this lol I got them today and guess what, they just barely fit! There's only an 1/8" to a 1/4" between the spoke and the caliper probably closer to an 1/8". They look bada** though!

Now I need some 15 or 20mm spacers for the rear to make it as aggressive as the front. Also, the front rubs when driving at highway speeds and hitting a dip in the road. I haven't looked at it in daylight yet but maybe it's just a bolt head for the fender liner?
I might get smaller tires later though since I'm on 245/35/20's up front and 275/35's rear.

 

honestly man, if u need to run that big of a spacer, u should just consider purchasing new wheels...and please do some research before you start buying stuff. Your life rides on this stuff

 

yeah I know, they were supposed to fit my car but turns out they didn't. I plan on buying some volks after tax time comes around, I'll probably sell these to someone without brembos then.
