F-Type R Coupe - Wheel Adaptors
Hi all
New to the forum but hoping to become a valuable member!
I had a question about spacer/adaptor thickness which I couldn't find using the search function. I know that 15mm is the common thickness to go for but has anyone gone higher and do you have any pics of it?
I am looking to get some hub centric and wheel centric adaptors for my V8 coupe but from the pics of 15s I see fitted I think there is room for a slightly more aggressive stance. I figure if I'm going that direction, may as well go for it!
Any help would be much appreciated!
p.s. if anyone knows of any suppliers in the UK that would be awesome too! Otherwise I'm looking at motorsport-tech who've been mentioned on here a number of times

The issue Is not with the drop. The drop just makes it more likely to tear something up if you run things too wide. +15 mm with 295s definitely works. +15 mm with 305s (additional 5mm extension) definitely does not work. I said suspect that 17 mm with 295s is OK but I personally don't know for certain. Others with this set up who have bottomed out their suspensions might be able to weigh in on this.

What is the wheel size and offset that you are running with the 295's and 15mm spacers?

If you at some point switch to 10mm spacers, it may require installing longer studs. There wouldn't be enough meat for recessing the adaptor nuts on anything smaller than 15mm and the OEM studs aren't long enough to reach through a plate adaptor sufficiently for the lug nuts.

Has anyone running 17mm spacers with OEM 295 tires had any issues with rubbing?
