Car and wheel/tire weights - 2SS NPP MRC 6SPD
**** I edited this first post with additional information on OE wheel and tire weights and some fitment information ****
I weighed my car on calibrated vehicle set up scales the day I got it (1/29) and also weighed a front and rear tire/wheel assembly on very accurate scales. Both at work, an ISO certified place so they are checked regularly. 2016 2SS, 6SPD, NPP, MRC, no sunroof, 56V (low gloss black 5 spoke wheels), full tank of fuel (2 miles from gas station). LF = 987 lbs RF = 1021 lbs LR = 853 lbs RR = 874 lbs Total = 3735 lbs OEM front wheel = 29.32 lbs (no weights or center cap, includes TPMS sensor) OEM rear wheel = 32.30 lbs (no weights or center cap, includes TPMS sensor) OEM front tire = 30.02 lbs (only 280 miles on it) OEM rear tire = 32.07 lbs (only 280 miles on it) Conti DWS 06 front tire (245/40R20) = 27.08 lbs Conti DWS 06 rear tire (275/35R20) = 29.42 lbs Hankook RS3v2 275/35R19 = 29.03 lbs 19X9.5 ET36 aftermarket wheel = 24.60 lbs Rear OE fits on front with 9.8 mm spacer but is very close. Better with 4 spacers at 13.1 mm. Still closer to the strut than the OE front. Best would be using 15mm spacer. 19X9.5 ET36 aftermarket barely clears with 13.1 mm of spacer. 15 mm spacer needed to clear strut to inner wheel lip. |
Good information. Thanks!

I edited my original post with more information. Added OEM wheel and tire weights and also some fitment information for different offsets to work on the front. I did not drive the car with these fittings, just bolted on while on a lift using 4 spacers. The wheel studs are NOT long enough to use slip on spacers in this quantity, but worked to check clearances.
I have some 15mm bolt on spacers, but as crankaholic and I have found, they don't play will with the stock wheel stud length and various wheels. Shorter studs or wheels with deeper backside pockets are needed for them to work. |
Do the 6th Gen OE wheels have the same geometry and bolt pattern as the 5th Gen wheels?
Just curious, because those new 1LE wheels look pretty cool :) |
Sorry if I cant wrap my head around the wheel stud issue.
You add a spacer, push the rim out, but the studs are to long? I would think you would need longer studs. |

Ok. I get it.
Sorry for the foggy brain. I will look into this more with my go to tire shop. See what they come up with. |

oh you have what i think is a small adapter style spacer. on a easy fix you need a bigger spacer,, second option is to add shorter studs...which rarely needs to be done and only if you want to use the spacers you purchased, or add a regular 10mm spacer and use these babies et lug nuts which will give you that extra 2 turns or so that you need.

Crazy question.
Why not consider wheels with the proper off set in order to eliminate the spacer? Or better yet wider wheels upfront which the car can take. |

Using a spacer to offset a wheel further than stock will have negative consequences... both short and long term. |
