Thrizzl3 do you run those when tracking or remove before you go?

I don't know a WHOLE lot on spacers but I would run 10mm max. Remember you should have extended lugs installed if you're going to do a 10mm or higher spacers for the lugs to spin in as much as possible

Yikes, 15mm sounds massive for a wheel spacer... especially if you track your car. IMO, since you're tracking I would go with the smallest spacer possible just so you can get by without rubbing.

My opinion may be biased... I'm not a fan of spacers but if you're rubbing you really don't have too much of a choice.

how is it rubbing on the inside? im pretty sure that 17x9 +45 fits on the speed 3s.
but anyway, if ur close, just put on 5mm spacers, dont have to change the lugs.

^^ and if u read closely, the op does not track. that is Phil with the 10mm.
