also one issue as to why project kics is modular is simple..
if you ever want to swap it to a different car..
say you have a 350z and want to put it on a subaru or something you can do that and just purchase the hub centric ring without buying a spacer again...
Plus hope the bolt pattern is the same, and the spacing you want is the same...

Hate to revive such an old thread but my LMGT4's are on:

245/35/19
275/35/19

I believe they are +25 offset all around so they're not as aggressive as I'd like. I'm also on Z H-Tech's. Would 15mm and 20mm spacers front/rear be too much and rub? I think i would be better off running 10mm/15mm possibly but would like to go as far as I can. Anyone care to comment?

Are they 8.5/9.5? Likely you'll rub without a roll in the rear, the most aggressive I've seen on a 9.5 rear is +12 with rollling, so you'll a hair more than that already with a 15mm spacer. Decide if you are willing to roll first, and then measure how much clearance you are going to end up with. FWIW, I plan on running a 15mm spacer on a +30 wheel, essentially putting me at +15 on a 285/35/19, so your setup should work since the tires are more stretched than mine with a roll

^^ Yah they are 8.5/9.5 - Didn't exactly want to roll my fenders. Maybe I'll run with the 15mm in the rears and 10 or 5 up front. It's possible my rears even have the +30 offset. Its the standard for the LMGT4's and I think its +25 up front and +30 in the rear. So running the 15's may make more sense?

The answer is yes they'll rub (245 & 275 on stock 19s). The 15mm might work in the back but it's too close to call and I didn't want to find out the hard way.. it wouldn't take much of a fender role to clear (or leave a lot of camber).
I just got some 10mm KICS and am going to put them on the front and see how it works.
The Tire calculator ( www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp ) says 245 is 20mm larger tread than stock so with a 10mm spacer it should equal 20mm closer to the fender. If they rub, I'll go 5 & 10. Otherwise I think I'll try rolling my fenders and go 10 & 15.
I'll let you know...


The 10mm spacers work great up front. This size tire on stock rims makes for a pretty straight up sidewall tire profile (rim and tire thread same width). I've seen rims stick out further but the sidewalls kind of buldged out if you know what I mean (like too small a tire on a wide rim). I think the tire would rub on any significant bump if I went with 15mm (they occassionally rubbed with standard tires on 15mm). I'll post soon.
Now on to 15mm in back (unless the fender roll allows 20mm...).

I wussed out and ordered 10mm for the back. If someone else puts 15mm and they work with 275s and no fender roll let us know.

^^ Hey mondo, where did you get the 10mm Kics? I tried ordering them from evasivemotorsports and they were all out as was their supplier so I have to look elsewhere. Suggestions?

He was out but got an order in and I got two pair. I don't know of any other brand of 10mm spacer with studs already mounted (making it just a bolt on process).
Good luck.

Yah i think its just Kics and didn't want to go with Ichiba and H&R Trak just because it wasn't a bolt-on process. I thought maybe autornd.com would carry them but they don't carry the 10mm only 15mm+. Guess I'm kinda stuck here if I want to get the Kics since there's no other place to buy them . Unless you want to sell me yours?
