Factory clearance specs for PP wheels

S550MG · Nov 17, 2017

Hey guys. I’m hoping someone can tell me what the factory clearance between the front PP wheel and front strut. The wheels I’m looking at getting will give me 12mm less clearance and I just want to make sure they’ll fit.

Has anyone checked to see what the inner clearance is on front on a PP car?

Probably not much or any more than 12mm. Which why the PP rears don't fit up front.

Front strut clearance is the biggest limiting factor to fitting large tires on a s550. The last thing you want is wheels that make it worse.

Yeah, you're right about that. I'll be running a track optimized square setup. Which means I'll be going for a slight stretch on my tires. As long as my wheels clear the struts I should be good.
