Spacers for stock suspension and 326 wheels

Hi,

Does anyone have pics of spacers on their 326M wheels. I have the stock 35is suspension and trying to figure out what size spacers to go with. I am looking for a clean not toooo aggressive look and also no rubbing or any other modifications.

Thanks,
Jake.

12mm in the rear and 10mm up front is the max.

Thanks Jparnes1. I was thinking the same, do you know if I was to add Eibach springs with the stock suspension, would it cause any rubbing issues.

I don't know. I depends on how low you drop. Rubbing is always a possibility. I would install the springs then play with different size spacers to see what works.

So finally got the 12mm rear and 10mm front spacers with stock suspension and 326 Wheels. Looks good although there is slight rubbing at hard turns in the rear. Not too much, but just enough. Is it me or I get the feeling the car handles much better.

It depends on how hard you're driving. Pushing the front wheels out with spacers will reduce understeer. If you're getting into understeer situations, it may help.
