Will 20 and 15mm spacers fit A-Spec's with 245/40/18 tires?

Hello All,

I searched and found no definite answer, I think. My car is an 2004 factory A-Spec, so with 18x8.5 OEM A-spec wheels. The tires I have on there now is 245/40/18. Anyone know if 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers will cause any rubbing? With just 2 adults in front or 4 people in car + some cargo in trunk?

Thanks in advance!

I am currently running 18x8 +48 wheels with 235/40/18's with 20mm and 25mm spacers and I rubbed a little in the rear. Not bad though. It basically rolled the fender itself and hasn't made a peep since.

I'm going to be installing Tein Street Flex coilovers sometime this week, so I'll see how that affects things.

I think if you were on 235/40's you wouldn't rub much if any. I didn't rub with the stock wheels, 235/45's and the same spacers. It will probably depend on how square the shoulder of the 245's you are running is.
