8.5 DS2's all the way around.

[Phatfred]

I have looked around and can not find answers to my specific questions.

I have two sets of DS2's and would like to run the 8.5" rears on both the front and the rear. I am running bilstein sports with neuspeed springs on 95 m3. I was under there this weekend putting the springs on and noticed I have only about a 1/4" of space between the strut and tire. How would I go about riding 8.5's. Small spacer and a fender roll? If so what is the smallest spacer you guys think would work? Has anyone done this?
:help

Front tires would be Fuzion ZRI 245. I mean thats what I have but could change if that makes it easier to run 8.5's up front.

I run 8.5's all around, needed a 5 or 10mm spacer in front (not sure right now) to not hit the strut.

Turn in with the 8.5's improved greatly :)

Cool no roll needed?

[Jim@tirerack]

The roll would depend on which tire and size and the alignment spec. More negative camber and a tire on the narrow side and you may not need a fender lip roll. I would say a 5mm spacer would be all that you need.
If I can help let me know.

I used to run 4 rear DSIIs w/ 235 Toyo Proxe RA1 R-compounds for the track w/ no rubbing, rolling, or spacers. Also ran stock 245 Michelins prior to that w/ no rubbing either, and my hooptie's slammed on H&R race springs w/ Koni SAs. :confused

Thanks guys I am gonna stick them on the way they are see how they fit with the 245's on. If no good then I get with you jim on some spacers.
