It’s not tires, but wheel bearings you should be concerned about.

That means on my 4.4 with *no flares* and style 87 wheels 25mm spacers will stick out and fling debris all over, no?

Aren't your style 87's right on the edge now with no flares? They were flush on mine before I put the flares and spacers on.

already significantly outside the bottom of the flare. They have not been a problem. I may well be on the conservative side. Lowering did more to fill the wheel wells than the spacers. I have had the spacers in place for many years. No wheel bearing problems.

This is my winter wheel combo and the fitment is so perfect.
20x9 wide, 24mmET offset value of wheel PLUS a 24mm DRA spacer set in the rear ONLY. Front wheels fit perfect, as is. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Wheel spacers are also sort of illegal here - unless certified by an auto-engineer, which cost $100s to get. But I bet it looks good!!

Just another case of knee-jerk legislation…. Question to those that have spacers - given the E53 rear camber setup (a small negative camber) does increasing the rear track with spacers increase the wear rate on the inner edge of the rear tyre?
