Happy to help!

Got some new RTR 19x10.5" +45mm Tech 5 wheels for Christmas. I'm assuming I need at least a 15mm spacer up front to clear all the brake and suspension parts. Is this the proper spacer size to run? Is it better to go with ARP studs and a slip on spacer or OEM studs and a bolt on spacer?

Just throwing in a pic of these wheels lowered on RTR springs. 275/30/20 all around

Ce

Niceness.

Will I be OK lowering on the 20" RTR staggered wheels? I was looking at the Steeda minimum drop springs (0.5"). But then I also quite liked the look of the eibach pro kit springs ~1".

@RTR077 what drop are the RTR springs you have in your pic?

Thanks.

That would be Front Drop - 1.1” Rear Drop - 0.8”

That's the route I would go. I currently run an 11 up front with extended studs and a 25 mil spacer.

Handles like a dream.

What is the thickest spacer I can run on the Tech 7 wheels without modifying the hubs/studs? Thank you.

Not too sure. I would bust out the pen and paper and get your math on

Anyone running a staggered setup with 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear?

 

[Ruven0119]

No I went with 9.5 front and 10.5 back

What size tires did you end up going with bro? Just picked up a set of 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 as well.

 

[Ruven0119]

Ordered the 19x10.5 for the rear today! Still patiently waiting for the 19x9.5s to be back in stock.

Also, Thanks Alex for the discount code!!

Sup bro, did you end up getting the 9.5s for front? If so what size tires are you running?

Yo, ran 275/35 in the front no spacers or rubbing issues

So just a sanity check, thwse will be my first set of aftermarket wheels ever. Do you torque the spline nuts up to the same torque as standard? I'm imagining so? Thanks.

I would torque mine to 70lbs when i first got wheels. Now i just let the ugga dugga machine take care of it.
