Wheel spacers

Featured Replies

IMO the rears need pushing out slightly, I have have a choice of 10 or 15mm spacers, what people opinion? I am happy with the fronts so I don't want them out too far else they'll look silly.

If it's any help I'm running 15mm on the rear and 10mm on the fronts.  I know that the 18" rims are a bit wider but it gives you an idea of how much the wheel gets pushed out by the spacers.  There's a before pic of how the car looked before it was lowered and the spacers put on.:thumbup:

Nice, the rears look spot on.

 

I'd be concerned about the difference if I don't put spacers on the fronts.

Having done my early morning research, I'll try 10mm on the rear. If it doesn't float my boat, I'll move them to the front and try 15mm on the rear. Both are waiting for me at work, please stand by! 

Looking forward to the pics as a simple 10/15mm spacer can make all the difference.

Sadly the special peeps at warehouse have sent the wrong size spacers and nuts not bolts!

Doh! It's always annoying when things don't go to plan.:angry:

If you're going for 10mm on the rear I'd suggest double checking when fitting that there's enough clearance inside the spacer for the rear hub lip to allow the spacers to sit completely flush against the hub.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm guessing high and width need checking.

It's the depth of the spacer you'll need to check depending on what brand you've went for.

Cool, I'll have a play later.
