I'm running H&R Trak 20mm on my 2015 MR with Swift Spec R lowering springs and the fit is perfect!!! no rub or anything!

10mm will not be that much of a difference!

Depending how hard you drive the car, I'd recommend getting studded versions (hub centric) as it doesn't stress the factory studs as much as stud centric. There have been issues with spacers breaking studs on the track without the studs. Hub centric puts stress on the hub (where it is supposed to be) instead of the studs.

I don't know if they make 10mm hub centric spacers though. Project Kics are my go to for just about anything wheel related:

On semi related note.. how do spacers look on a stock height X? Say 15mm

does it make the wheel gap even more pronounced than it already is?

I feel that it does the opposite! as stated above I am running a 20mm spacer and i only just lowered the car last week but before that i think it made all the difference and i had people asking me if i was lowered when at the stock ride height... 15mm will make it a bit better but 20-25 will make them flush with the fender/ maybe a little poke with the 25mm.......

@EVOX84, did you get any rubbing with 20mm on the rear? Say if you had two people in the back or if you cornered hard? I was rubbing with +15 265/35 but it may be because those tires were beef.

Migs647, No I have not nor have I had any with the Swift Spec Rs on there either however im still running the stock tire size, conti DWS 06s 245/40/18... im also running stock camber too so the wheels dip into the fender a bit too to start off with (-1 camber)

I would if i were you. the H&R Trak spacers i have listed below have extended studs and hub centric and that's what you want. 100+ mph in Mexico and no steering wheel shake at all! The tires rub a bit in the front while full lockout when in reverse... i just heated the front wheel wells with a heat gun an pushed them out a bit.

What size rubber are you running? That will determine your wiggle room with spacer size.. if you are still running 245s then i would just go with a hubcentric, extended stud 15-20mm spacer for sure! you will be pissed that you went with a 10mm I promise you...

I'm dropped 1.25F and 1.0R with a 20mm H&R Traks and have ZERO fender rub/scraping.... I can take better pictures and post them tomorrow but here are a few for now (these were taken 24hr after i put the spec R springs on the car and they have settled alot more than what you see here

you probably wont be able to run 10mm spacer bolt on spacers since the oem studs will hit the back of the wheel hub. You'd likely have to go with extended studs and a slip on 10mm

Mine was running with HR 20mm spacers. But they caused vibration after 80MPH. So I have to take them off in the end.
