This has been a long term project that is near completion. I have posts about the process in previous posts so I won’t go into specifics. I wrapped my refreshed BBS wheels in Hankook Ventus V2 195/50 tires. Since they are ET40 I will need at least a 10mm spacer. This requires longer wheel studs. The front end has longer wheel studs because of the big brake kit. The rear wheel studs are going to be installed by Ken Blasko this weekend and the last step before mounting the new wheel and tires is the spacers. I want to be exact on what spacers I will get so I am going to test fit them. I got a bunch of washers from Home Depot and I put them on the wheels studs and then mount the wheels. When I find the desired fit I measure how many washers were used and thats the spacer I need. The front was easy thats 8-10mm. The rear though had plenty of room. I will probably end up with something like a 15-20mm spacer. This was satisfying and nerve wracking!! Would the wheels fit? Did I miscalculate? Well it looks amazing! The fit is perfect! I will have enough room to truly dial in how I want the wheels to fit inside the fenders. The other upside to all this is weight. The weight of the old wheel and tire combo was about 31 pounds. The weight of the new combo is 28 pounds. That saves 3 pounds a wheel of rotational mass. Thats not insignifigant! That means the car will accelerate faster, turn faster, and stop faster. All very good things. So not only is this a visual upgrade its a performance upgrade! My only things is now I think I want the front end down another inch…coilovers.
