I know every seems to go with 15mm spacers on the rear with 124 wheels. I think I know the answer......but would 30mm be waaaaay to wide for the rear?

Rogue Engineering offers 15mm spacers. Not sure how much they are new, but a used set of 2 just went for a little under 100 bucks in the classifieds.

30 is pushing it i think. you might rub on the dips.

Yeah....thats what I figured, and/ or they would probably push the tires out past the wheel well arches

So are you going to stay with the 15mm? What about the front wheels...are you thinking of 5mm upfront as well. I would love to see pics after you put them on as I am considering this same mod.

30mm spacers might be going a little over, 15mm spacers should be suffice for your setup. fully stocked with H&R spacers
