20mm rear & 5mm front spacers

Featured Replies

Was thinking about putting wheel spacers on my vrs when i lower it. I was thinking 20mm on the rear and 5mm on the front.

What do you think, good idea or bad ?

I would appreciate your opinions

i got 20mm on the rear, extra -1 deg of Camber, 205 on a 8.j wheel and slammage and its fine. If your lowered quite a bit, you will need the supporting mods or it will rub its tits off.

I was thinking 20 on the rear with the eibach camber shims!?

What you think gee!? On stock rims?

I'm fitting 5mm's on my front tomorrow as once I lowered mine on coilovers the inside of my tyre is touching the adjuster on the strut due to the offset of my wheels. I'll post up some pics tomorrow once done.

Fitted my 5mm fronts today. Unfortunately I forgot to take any before pics but it will give you an idea of how they look with 5mm on the front. My wheels are 8.0jj and offset ET35.They have given me the space I needed to take the tire away from the adjuster so I'm happy.

I was thinking about a -1.0 degree shim aswell. Only got standard vrs alloys on it so hopefully won't get any rubbing.

Only lowering it 35mm all round on springs for now.

Thanks for the advice, will get some pics up as soon as its done.

Love the estate gee man

haha, that was before i molested it lol

I have a set of H&R Hubcentrics 10mm each side on the front and 15mm each side on the back with the standard 17" Spiders.

I also have absolutely no rubbing unless I have a full car and go over a lump in the road at speed!

Everybody loves pictures so here are some before and after's.

After fitting the spacers along with the coilovers the car feels a lot more planted to the road espically when cornering.
