15mm spacers to 18mm on stock 189s?

Mr G. · 04-21-2011, 01:45 AM

I need some help in determining if I should upgrade to 18mm spacers for my stock wheels. I installed H&R springs today with 15mm spacers in rear but I'm not too sure about the setup. See images below...

You need to multiply that by 2. 6mm is just under 1/4 on an inch.

But you're right, not much difference.

Give the springs a couple of weeks to fully settle. Then see if you still think you need a thicker spacer.
