WilkesyMB6 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I think you do on the front from memory.I have 195/50/15's check my profile out and see what you think mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 yeah, im almost certain the 15' teg wheels need the spacer to clear our calipers. love the 96 spec rims dude, looking forwrd to seeing them on the car. ive got 50's on the front just now, but sometimes when i look at them, i think they look too small. mind mine isnt lowered tho, so guess that figures in the equation a bit.

Aky Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 3mm spacers needed on front. 195.55.15 or 195.50.15 if your lowered more than 45mm.You can fit 50 profile if your not that low, but will gave more arch gap and makes car look high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastgtir Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Standard tyre size is 195-55-15 but i always run 195=50-15 as they are alot cheaper and more available.. Not a huge amount of difference between the sizes, if anything 50s will give you a better drive as less sidewall flex when giving it beans.you need a small spacer 3mm as said, i used a set of 5mm ones which cost £9.99 from a local motor factors. It looks as if the calipers will clear but once they are heated up they will expand abit so not point risking it. or you could shave the caliper slightly if u dont want to run spacers.Only need them on the front as said before.

beastgtir Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 he might have grinded the calipers but once they are heated up they expand a touch..I done the big brake upgrade on my mates brothers 96 jdm itr and they did fit over the mb6 brakes but i wasnt happy with the clearence as it was very tight so fitted 5mm spacers..
