Re: Do i need wheel spacers with the coilovers? (V arrrr SIX)
You may need spacers on the rear wheels, generally coilovers fit with stock wheels but when you go to aftermarket and are running wider then stock widths it depends on your offset. To get a rough idea if you will need spacers, measure from the center of the stock shock to the outter most edge of the inner rim. Then compare that to the measurement on the new coilover from the center to the outter most point on the coil. If you stock measurement is slightly bigger you may get away with no spacers (you need about 5mm of clearance between the wheel/tire and the coils to allow for flex in cornering) Then bolt everything up and see how it fits. It may be a good idea to buy a set of spacers for the install and if you don't need them return them.
