GarageLine Spacers 20mm Front 25mm Rear Photos OEM Wheels

I did not cover the entire interior, true, so there are some spots where it's doing so, but not loud enough for me to pick up on it aurally.

Some years ago, soon after I got my TSW wheels, 9.5" wide +39 in the back, I made a fast left turn onto an onramp. I discovered a hidden dip in the road around the corner. The RR tire smacked up inside the wheel well loud enough to make me thoroughly inspect my tire when I got home. Since I saw nothing on the outside or tread, I assumed that the tire had met wheel well liner but no visible harm done. Would this have occurred with OEM +46.5 and 8.5" wide? I think not. So, if you are going to corner fast, expect your much closer tolerances to provide some interesting noises sooner or later.

Which TSWs? I have TSWs for my winter set (local shop in 2018, so I can't find the model I ordered in my email). I appreciate the warning, and will keep an open mind as time passes.

Video of the Front Right same drive. It seems the front suspension doesn't allow the wheels to even come close in the places where the rears compress into the wheel well. I'll do another of the front left tomorrow morning.

Here's my GT2 on stocks with 20mm NGT spacers. No rubbing and I'm on coilovers. I put 275/35/19 tires in back and 255/35/19 in front.
