I plan on doing the same. I ordered two 295/30/20 4S's from Discount Tire today. Also ordered black center caps with the red Rays logo from Evasive. And I ordered a stud conversion kit (75mm) and some lug nuts. from IND. All that is left now is to dismount tires and swap sensors, and then I'll get the wheels ceramic coated. Once all this is done, then I will see what spacers I need to replicate my existing OEM look with 15F 12R spacers.

What's the status on your wheels? I know you received them. Mine should be here on Sunday.

I actually upped it to 13mm. (I did have to trim the "L" on the front fender that protudes inwards) - I shaved it.

FYI for those who dont know...my specs are 20x10 +15 (+2 with 13mms spacer), and 20x11 +15 (no spacer in rear). I have about -1.9-2.0 camber all around)
285/30/20F, 295/30/20R (xdrive)

I haven't shaved the fins yet...it only rubs on reverse at more than 45 degree angle. Im going to investigate this this weekend!

Thanks for the information. I will definitely move my 12mm spacers up front then. What is this "L" piece on the front fender?

I'm out of pocket for work stuff, should be back in a couple weeks. Then I need to get these things on the car. It's painful that they showed up the day after I flew out.

I do need to get some tires ordered and find some center caps.

I'm sure you can't wait to get back home. I have everything set up. Ordered all items and have services lined up (tire swaps, coating). I also ordered black valve stems for the OEM TPMS sensors (https://www.ebay.com/itm/265145902369).

My stud kit and lug nuts arrived today.

After playing around with it more....you guys will all rub on reverse. You really need to shave the fins on the front part of the fender liner /plastic trimming.

I would recommend even removing a lot of the fins and replacing it with mesh (if you want to avoid ANY rubbing). I was told that this location is really low impact for radiator, though mesh would give you peace of mind.

also 20x11+15 WILL NOT FIT the front (too close to inner strut). You need to run a 3-5mm spacer and at that point you might be too far poked out. However if you run coilovers the strut body is thinner and you might be able to clear.

My goal is to run 20x11+15 square hopefully....

How would you secure the mesh down? I might do that. I plan on running the 12mm spacers up front for that OEM flush look. Does the rear need any spacers at all?

Do you happen to know which fins are the problematic ones?

It’s gonna depend on how much you’re lowered. From previous posts on AST springs or KW Has (max lower) it can range between fin 3-5 or 4-6. You can opt to fully cut them off (no reports YET of rocks shooting into radiator that causes damage) or can trim them to get the clearance. Image 1 is full cut. Image 2 is trim.

I plan to heat and push back the liner with minor shaving. This way I can keep some protection from the fins.

timstah · 08-21-2022, 12:42 AM

Rear doesnt need a spacer. Maybe like 3-5mm if youre like HELLA flush but not really necessary IMO.

There is a slight protrusion in the rear fender liner that likes to rub (when i was on OEM wheels with +13R spacer) so i just trimmed that

I think you made the right choice going diamond black! The rears look like a pretty damn good fitment. Did you throw your spacers up front or those are without?

Thanks! Very happy with diamond black, ties in well with frozen white.

And I agree, the rears are just about perfect. No spacers on the front right now. The fronts definitely need at least a 10mm spacer. I only have a 15/18 setup, and I think the 15 may be a bit aggressive. Probably going to sell those.

Thanks! KW HAS, can still go lower in the front, rear at max height utilizing KW 15mm spring spacers. And sorry, haven't weighed them.

Looks good OP!
Where'd you order them? And did you have to wait for them or was it in stock already?

Thank you! I had a deposit placed with Vivid Racing earlier this year. Seems like all the G8x sets started hitting the US a couple months ago. Not sure if anyone else has them in stock. Likely a 10-12 month wait time with a back order.
