15mm rear wheel spacers

[jay cam]

Yes! My next plan is installing 15mm wheel spacers angled at 2.5 in the rear on 215/40/17 rims...
What do you think?
I think next week ill get them installed....Go to fullsize image.jpgSL557351 copy.jpg

Are you trying to rub your fenders off?

[jay cam]

It shouldnt rub if it is angled right.
Iv seen 225/45/17 (rear) on an avante xd, with the right angle no rub...

you WILL have to roll the fender..this is the exact setup i have now....even with the stiff *** teins (with 215/45's i rubbed...even rolled) but the 215/40 with a -1.5 degrees of camber i'm good to go. puts the wheel pretty much flush (im using the oem tib wheel) so it has a +46 offset.

[jay cam]

Well got the 15mm spacers on the rear at a degree of 2.5 on the camber...
there was rubbing at the degree of 2.0 but at 2.5 the ride feels good no rubbing.....

[only1db]

2.5 is quite extreme...you WILL be going through tires.

crappy pictures are crappy.

aka

get better pictures.

This. I get a little higher wear on 1.5 up front.... and I push them harder.

[SuperGLS]

Cool stuff jay cam.

I agree though, get some pictures so we can really see the angle.

[jay cam]

Hope these photos are better...

[only1db]

maybe a set of neo gens like i have and you wont hurt the tires as much ( i have -2 upfront and -1.7 out back)

[Pete03GLS]

must be close to what i ran in the back for a little bit. after me n swifty did the camber mod to my rear struts.

epic cornering traction was epic.

[BobMs_wht2k2]

Sorry.. but that looks retarded to me. Almost as bad as the v-dub guys running 3+ all around.

[jay cam]

I really love the look (check out some other rides) and happy with the feel...
I guess my tires will wear out quicker than before, iv had my tires for 3 years and with another 2 years to go (NEXEN tires)...
But im actually looking forward to changing my tires from 215/40/17"h to 215/45/17"w then maybe i will change my camber setting to 2.0....

[only1db]

your going to rub even more with that tire....i know i did...i was very happy to go back down to a 40 profile

how did you do the camber? i have the ingalls "Smart Arms" they work very well.

[jay cam]

Angled with stock camber (all stock) with custom bolts...

[only1db]

here is mine....-1.7 in the rear with the smart arms and the 15mm with oem 17" tib wheels

[jay cam]

Looks good only1db......
our elantra's maximum camber angling is -1.7 or -1.8..........however changing the camber bolts you can go further negative, but looks good.
what tires did you have before 215/45/17 H or W or Y???

[only1db]

Z rated...rating is not really going to matter...its how tall the tires are, i would rub when i was going slow or fast. All i had to do is a hit a bump too fast or with people in the car and scrap.

and with the smart arms i can go all the way out to -3...im only halfway...maybe.

[jay cam]

H or W or Y tires is related to speed but also to design as the tires curves in not straight up.
I had W before =no problem, now I have H =problem sometimes rub even when after rolling the fenders....

Before buying my new tires in the near future 215/45/17 W i will ask for sample tires, see if they rub, if they do rub then I might go for 205/45/17 W and have the rim of the rims sticking out....
