Spacers on Spiders?

Featured Replies

I feel they need spacing out a bit as they sit in the arch a bit too much.

I have fitted some 5mm Spacers to the rear and its perfect, But I'm not sure what to do on the front has anyone fitted spacers to the front if so what have you fitted?

Any pics of the spacers fitted? Much difference?

Surely you use the same sort of spacer you used on the back :p Back wheels are not a different shape or size than the fronts. ;)

Well i'm Thinking of 10mm on the front, As the fronts sit quite far in compared to the rears.

But is having a wider track at the front doesn't seam like a good idea?

Fitting 5mm to the rear actually made the rear look lower as it bought the wheel closer to the arch. It actually looks a good 10mm lower!

I've run 15mm front spacers out of necessity, and never had anything untoward or even beneficial (if you ignore spacers = caliper clearance)

I have some 5mm spacers in the shed, il have to dig them out and give them a go then.

Did you reuse the existing OEM bolts or buy slightly longer bolts for the 5mm spacers? As I'm going to fit mine on the weekend at work.

I used the existing bolts, any bigger and I would get longer ones.

I cant get my ride height right! Grrrrr

With the adjuster on it sits too high, with it off it sits too low!
