Wheel spacers

Sorry if this has already been a topic, but what size wheel spacers are you all adding to G80, specifically. I'm thinking 12 front/10 back. Thanks!

The 12/10 is a safe bet. I did 12/12, but have the Michelin’s. Really comes down to what tires you have. The Pirellis run quite chunky.

You will guarantee to rub on Pzero. I have 12 up front and it clears the break ventilation in the fender arches by about 3mm. It does not rub when stationary and turning the wheels left to right. The rubbing occurs when you put the car in reverse it puts load on the suspension and shifts the contact point to the outer edge of the tire. Rubbing does not happen under hard cornering or acceleration going forward.

I've got PZeros as well. Think I'll go 10/10 to be sure. Thanks!

Anything beyond 13mm in the back is going to poke. I have 13mm and Michelins and they are on the edge. I have 10mm on the front and they could have done to 12mm.

I ordered the 12f/10r setup and started seeing the rubbing comments so I switched them when they came in. 10mm front/12mm rear. Still have some small rub in reverse with the 10s up front. G82 w/pzeros

I have the Pirelli's and went with 15 upfront.

I haven't had any rubbing at all, as I have been conscious not do do full lock in reverse…problem solved! 15's all the way.

The car needs every last mm of spacer in the front in particular. The rear I just did 10mm which I'm happy with

If you have the factory P-zeros then a 12 up front will rub allegedly... I heard this from EAS. If you got lucky and your car came with the PS4Ss then you're fine to run a 12 up front.

I have the pirellis and am running a 10 up front and 12 in the rear.

You will rub with 10 mm front spacers at full lock with P-zeros. Zero rub with PS4S. I had mine installed at EAS
