So I have been running on a stock suspension with sport springs for a while now and I finally made a desicions to upgrade my suspension. I bought Bilstein Shocks and Struts, aswell as a bunch of rear reinforcement pieces. They arn't installed yet but I would like to know the size of spacers I would be able to fit.
My fenders have not been rolled yet but they will be as soon as my new suspension stuff gets installed.
I am also running on 17" Mille Miglia 11's with 225/40 tires all around. I know a few members have these same rims so any sugestions from you guys would be welcome.
Thanks a bunch guys. __________________ http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...ignature-2.jpg

Why do you want to run spacers? You should be able to run that suspension, with that tire size without any spacers.. My car is much lower than what you are going to get with billie's and I don't have to run spacers to get wheel or suspension clearance. I run a 5mil spacer up front to get clearance for my brake rotors. | | | | | 08-11-2008, 09:21 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Calgary/Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Posts: 379 |
I want to run spacer because it makes the car look wider in the rear and it make the line from the fender to the tire more smooth if you know what i mean. __________________ http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...ignature-2.jpg

I would also be interested in spacers. I was thinking of making my own other wise. __________________

I was thinking of that too. I am taking a manufacturing class next year and we get to design anything we want on the CNC machine. I would design and make them myself except I won't be allowed to make more then 4 pieces. Plus bolts would be tough to get rite anyways. __________________ http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...ignature-2.jpg
