I did alot of research like yourself before ordering spacers. It all depends on yourself and what you like.

Good luck.

that looks great. I was seriously considering these tires, but there were no good reviews! Can you tell us anymore? wear/road noise etc...

For that price, I guess treadwear doesn't even matter

I'm running spacers 15(f) and 20(r) and it looks great but to each their own.
I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger on a set of 265's. Did you use the stock bolts with the spacers on the OEM 21's?

You'll need longer bolts. They should be long enough to get you 7+ turns.

Spacers are NOT needed. I have had zero issues.

My wife drives the SQ5 and she thought it rides better with the Atturo's ! The wear seems to be good but only put about 2k miles on them. Road Noise is minimal. It's a great ride. Made me love the car all over again.

It depends on what size spacers you get. I went with 15 (f) and 20 (r) and changed my bolt size to 14x1.5x42 BALL and 14x1.5x48 BALL.

But again it depends on the spacers you pick.

Mops over at Supreme Power helped me out and was great to work with.

Hey can I ask what air pressure you did in the front and back? Our sq5s have different levels for front and rear for stock so I wanted to know what you did. Here are some more pics that show there is plenty of room on OEM 21s NO SPACERS!!!



Thanks!

Hi just got a set! what are the colored stripes on the tires for? and what pressure are you running since stock OEMs had different pressure for the fronts.

SQ's are only 1 pounds difference. I don't bother unless I think about it.
