Wheel spacer question

[jw 325ic]

Wanting my rear wheels to sit a little more flush rather than making the rear look narrow. The wheels are 15x7 e28 with 205 60 15 tires and H&R sport springs. What size spacers would you recommend? I'm thinking 5-8mm if not just 10mm but i dont want it looking poked or rubbing the fender. Thanks.

Just measure, Measure from the wheel or rim out towards the lip of the fender. convert inchs to mm on google and your set. I would suggest rolling the rear fenders for maximum clearance.

Dont really want to roll them. I think i can pull off 15-20. 1" = about 25mm and i have just over an inch between the tire and the wheel arch.

I think a 10mm is going to give you a nice fit.

you don't think 15mm would look a lil better?

*note, that was zoomed in and the car was on a slant so it kinda looks like i have positive camber but if you look at my sig i obviously dont...

seriously though, measure straight across from the tire to where the tire would contact the fender. take that number and get spacers that are smaller. 8-10mm i think will do it.

yea i did, and i have a little over an inch to play with which is why im thinking 15. but the general consensus seems to be 10. thanks man.

Firstly, and unless I am mistaken, I think that you have a positive camber you would likely have to get rid of with a camber plate kit (unless of course you want to go through tires like crazy). Then you should measure your clearance which would likely be less than the reported 1+ inch///

Addressing the camber may alone give you the stance you are looking for.

the amount of camber added from an average drop (h&r sport springs) wont wear out tires prematurely. besides, getting camber adjustment in the back on an e30 is not an easy process, especially when compared to just bolting on some spacers.
