Ugh. Can I get a definitive on 315 GS-D3's and spacers?

[Bockfipher]

I really need to find a definitive answer regarding spacers for this setup. I've been reading about this for two weeks now and there doesn't seem to be a solid concrete answer. Has anyone done this setup recently that can give me a solid answer?

315/35/17 Goodyear GS-D3's
Stock springs
17x10.5 replicas from American Muscle (6.8" backspace/27mm offset),
MM IRS bolts

Thanks!

Different for everyone, you wont really know until you testfit. Since youre not lowered you will need the mm irs bolts for sure. The spacers youll likely need at least a 1/4in.

I have the exact set-up.

1) 3/8" Maximum Motorsports hubcentric wheel spacers.

2) 3" wheel studs

Grind down the rear IRS mount bolt heads and round the edges to keep it from shreadding your tires should it contact.

Repalce the front sub-frame mounting bolts with 9/16" grade 8+ bolts to take up on some of the clunk.

You should be good to go :beer:

03 Cobra, 17x10.5 AFS wheels and Goodyear 315's. I machined my bolt heads, use 3/8 spacers, and rolled my fender lips just as a precaution since I already owned the Eastwood Fender Roller. I have never heard a scrape at full compression. The tires did not hit the fender lips even before I rolled them.

I had 17x10.5 FR500's with 315 GSD3's and MM IRS bolt. No spacers, my car was really low.

I only have to use a 1/4" spacer to run that setup. But, every car is different.

I doubt they are "hubcentric" spacers? The smallest spacers I've seen that can be hubcentric are 3/8". It's likely your spacer centers on the wheel studs and not the hub.

I will have to check on that, I haven't pulled the rear wheels in awhile....
