    15mm Spacers

    I pulled these off of my Allroad. They sure look good, and don't seem to rub although I haven't taken a hard turn yet. My question is whether these are too much? That is, would this these spacers stress the suspension components too much?

    Thanks!

    A picture would help.

    Like Ive stated before...!0 mm work great with no signs of any problems. 3/8's of an inch. 15mmwould have to be tracked hard to find any rubbing probs,or lets see some pics !!

    Here you go. Rubbing aside, will putting the wheels out further on just the outsides stress the suspension components too adversely?

    Re: 15mm Spacers

    On a set of stock wheels (or aftermarket wheels using the same specs as the stock wheels), the H&R Trak+ 10mm spacers I have seem to work well. I would think the 15mm ones would extend the wheels/tires beyond the fenderline just a bit too much?

    I wouldn't mess with it, personally.
