265/285 with spacers?
For those of you running a 265/285 tire set up, are any of you also using spacers? And if so could you post pictures? I tried searching in the 15 page long thread about spacers but i couldn't find any. I had a 15mm/18mm when i was running a stock tire set up and now that i switched to the bigger size i didn't put the spacers back on. Was thinking maybe 5mm in the rear and 10 in the front?

I run 265/285 and use 12mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers in the rear. However, I'm not on stock wheels, so we have different offsets.
When I was on stock wheels and tires I ran 15mm up front and 20mm out back. So I imagine you can easily run 5 & 10 or more depending on the look you prefer. I like the bulging out of the wheel well look personally. heh.

I run 255/285 on 20" with 9mm out in front and 8.3mm in rear for the offset of the aftermarket rims.
Was thinking of putting the 285's in front and getting 305s for the rear. Not sure the 285's will work. also my car is lowered on HR super sports.

I just upgraded my tires to 265/285 Bridgestone RE71R's and tried using my 12/15mm spacers with my new setup. The 15mm's on the rear work well and look very aggressive. The 12mm's up front were causing rubbing on my fender liners so I removed them. I'm on stock 19" wheels and stock adaptive suspension. 5mm will definitely work but I'm wondering if 10mm still rub. Anyone try 10mm spacers with 265 tires up front?

FYI, my intention on 18" wheels and stock suspension is to go 265/285 with ~10mm spacers front and rear.

Installed MPSS 265 / 285 set-up, and it feels great. Car is on Swift springs and has 12mm spacers all around. No rubbing. Digging the fuller / meaty look vs. the Contis I had, fills up nice. Car has -2.0 camber all around, neutral toe front and a tad +toe in rear.

Thank you! I also agree that the stock 19's paced out look perfect on these cars

Tried the set-up on track and it felt solid. Towards the end of the 20 min session started to get a lil greasy, but still fine given they're not r comps.
To dial out some of the tail happy nature of the car, I took out the spacers up front and left them in the rear, what I believe would simulate wider track in the rear, and it worked like a charm. Coming in hot on a couple turns the car was very confidence inspiring / stable. In the chicanes, and high speed turns, it performed flawlessly, really felt like a solid set-up. Note, running the car on Swift springs. |

I would have had a real world answer on rubbing with the Re71r on swift for you, as I was supposed to have Swift Springs installed by end of day today, but the shop didn't get it done. I'm pushing it with the 12mm in front, and think it will be very close with your little bit of extra width, might be worth it to run the 10mm. |
