Since i installed my (GT3RS wheels) i fitted them with a 15mm H&R spacer. They fit perfectly but i don't think there is any room left. I too run a 315/25/19 and i have rolled lips....

Just trying to share my experience - hope it helps. Wheels are awesome!

Cheers.
Boris, you had me thinking. So I removed my current OEM wheel and compared offsets (tire/wheel combo).

The OEM wheel measured 201mm (tire rolls over the edge more than the GT3 wheel). GT3 wheel measured 234mm.

234mm – 23mm spacer = 211mm.

OEM 201mm, GT3 211mm (incl 23mm spacer).

I have 15mm clearance to the inner plastic guard. Difference between wheels is 10mm. So I should be OK.

Thanks for your help, greatly appreciated.
