I'm running R32 wheels, which are same size as Anni ones, I've got 20mm rear spacer, 15mm fronts. Running 215/40/18 tyres, JOM coilovers all the way down on the rear with adjusters still in, fronts have a bit of thread left. Only ever get scrubbing on the rear with large bumps.



That pic is when I was running 225/40/18 tyres which caused no end of scrubbing, I can get a better pic tomorrow.

Anni's are Et38 :wink:

20mm at rear are fine, look for Rhyso's old thread. 10mm at front should be alright
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
