anyone running 20's with H&R OE Sport Springs?

[mcimiluca]

just wondering if any of you guys are running this setup. Hows the ride? any Rubbing? and what tire sizes are you using? Thanks guys! i tried searching around but couldn't find much

[Psalm40]

I've been on H&R OE sports with 20" MORR VS8.2's for a week now. No rubbing noted. Perfect drop.

What size tires are you running?

[nys5]

already the 20x9 with 245-30 20
going lowed it with H&R OE springs next week
let you know

[MrFunk]

Yes plenty do. You should be fine.

I'm going OE springs in a few weeks also - I've got 19's et 35 so will be just fine... post some pics when you're dropped!

[mcimiluca]

hows the ride quality for everyone... i live in the NY/NJ area and our roads arent the greatest. I figure if im only doing a slight drop then it should be pretty good. Also they make 255-35-20 tires... would that not fit... or would i have to do 255-30-20

u should be fine. i run the same set up but on super sports and i never rub. or have any complaints about the ride. But i do worn be careful with the 245 tire. it stretches and leaves the lips exposed. If not careful u will bend or even can crack your wheels. I would know. I am way more careful this time around.

[Psalm40]

My specs are as follows-

Tire- Hankook Ventus V12 255/30/20
Wheel- MORR VS8.2 20"x9 et 35
Suspension- H&R OE Sport
Upper control arm- Stock

I have not had my alignment re-done yet as the springs have only been on for a week so I can't comment on the need for upper control arms.
I have had no rubbing.
I'll post pics on my original MORR wheel thread this weekend.

I have heard nothing but good reviews on the OE springs for our car. Ride quality very close to stock - just slightly firmer...

I'm running 20x9 ET40 with 255/30R20 Michelin PS2 on Bilstein PSS10 coilovers and sit just below the top of the tire (forget the actual measurement) and don't have any rubbing. Drove around NJ last weekend since I was at Waterfest and had no issues.

Here's some pics. Details of my set-up in my sig. The brushed double-tint finish changes a little in the sunlight. It is a bit darker than the pics would suggest. The bright sun makes them look gunmetal, in lower light they look like more of a gloss black.

these turned out great Martin, need to see some more photos [:)]

20s are pretty common on B8 years.

Is anyone running 5MM spacers on their 20's with the OE HR sport spings? looking to go with the same setup and was curious if I would need the spacers to flush it out?

Wow clean!! Is that with spacers?

[Skywagon]

Yes, I'm running 20x9's, 265/30s in front, 20x10's, 295/25s in rear, Eibach sport springs ,lowered about 3/4 of an inch. No problems.

I just ordered 20x10 et35 with 255-30-20 rubber. I'm currently on H&R OE's but will most likely switch to the H&R SS Coils when the wheels get here.

[chudiddy]

No spacers

[MrFunk]

Yup HR OE's
20x9 ET 48 + 12mm spacers all round.
255/30 20 Tires

No Rub

You will get MAD vibrations with 5mm spacers. They are not hub centric plus a 20mm wheel has so little rubber and so much metal that the smallest offset of the spacer will cause vibration. Trust me - I tried 5mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm spacers before I found one that didn't cause vibrations. 10mm+ spacers will be hub centric and have the least vibrations... none of them however are 100% vibration free... the 12mm's I use are liveable...

Sir, have you ever considered hub centric rings?

I am given to understand that 20x10 et35 will have about 3/4" poke beyond the fender, you expecting the same ? Cant wait for pics !!!

[SwissBliss]

So I might be better off going with no spacers on a 20x9 255-30-20? or a 10mm but will get alittle vibration even with the 10mm?

Does anyone have pics of the HR OE sport spings with the stock 19's? with or without spacers?

Massey is running the exact same setup and he's on H&R sports.

so is this Massey setup running any spacers or is that 20x10, with no spacers and just HR OE sports? because that looks clean as hell! [:D]

[Pworld]

I ran 20's with super sports. No rubbing, no blown shocks. no issues. smooth ride, for about 18k miles before i built my coil-overs. So im sure sports will be just fine and no worries.

[MrFunk]

Sir, have you ever considered hub centric rings?

Sir yes sir.
There is a small lip on the hub. a 10mm and smaller spacer will sit behind this lip. Because it sits behind the lip there is a 1mm (whatever the size of the lip is) amount of play in the spacer up and down... you will not fit any additional hub centric ring in the gap either... When you put the wheel on - the spacer will be in the "down" position in the gap (gravity) and thus off center. It would be impossible to hold the spacer perfectly centered while bolting the wheels on - and centrifugal forces would end up pushing it to one end of the gap.

If this makes no sense - take your wheel off and look at the lip on the hub and it should be more clear...

You need 10+mm spacers for the reason that they are wide enough to sit ON the lip on the hub and not have any play... (the smaller ones have play because they have to be wide enough to fit past the lip but since they are not wide enough to sit ON the lip they have play)

No spacers- just 20x10 ET35, and hes running the H&R sports not OE's- hes about an inch to inch and a half lower than OE's. I'll have pics with OE's when mine get here but I'll most likely be switching to coils so I can dial in my ride height-- Its hard to get away with an aggressive fitment like this with a fixed height spring.

Thanks for the info! I think I might just have to go big and get the coils myself, if I plan on running with the 20's. I was originally going to go with the 19X9.5 but thought If I did a larger wheel I could fill some of the OE's gap. I don't want to run spacers if I can avoid it! Thanks for the info! Looking forward to the pics!

Are these WSP replicas? Judging by your sig you sir have good taste!

Yup and thats why I am going ET42 to get flush and not poke.

[raudiace4]

Anyone on OEs with 265/35/19 with ET 55?

What wheel width...?

[raudiace4]

What wheel width...?

19x10 et 55. Wondering if I need to run spacers or not prefer not to.

[IanCH]

19x10 et 55. Wondering if I need to run spacers or not prefer not to.

That's a very awkward offset.

@55 you are poking 6mm over stock, but 32mm inset from stock. That's very close.

@10mm spacers you are out 16 which is too much, but any smaller spacers and you're gonna get vibration.... just hope that the 55 doesn't hit inside I suppose but you'll never get the wheels perfectly flush

Poke is fine, which is why I went with 265 rubber instead of 255. I think i'll see how it looks with 10mm spacers, If not I can always go up/down 5mm. Thanks for your input!
