also, what make of tyres and profile?
did you test them against the bump stop, is take spring off and drop them down to see if they rub/clear.

Rears are 265/30/19. They're Michelin Pilot Super Sports, which, as you know, are a lot wider than the advertised width. Full compression on the bump stops and it doesn't rub.

Thats got me thinking now, they do look good Mikey1987. Where did you get the spacers from and longer studs? As mine are running on the normal 18s with VXR Aps which make it mega tight on the inner rims.
Cheers. The spacers are just generic multi-fit spacers. However, I'm in talks with AAS for them to machine bespoke spacers for me. The wheels bolts are ARP ones, from the US. I think (off the top of my head) they are an inch longer.
Will start sorting things out over the winter. You will have to give us the nod on how much the spacers are. The more are done the cheaper they should get i hope idea
