Hi,

 

As the title suggests I would like to know peoples experience in the maximum spacer size that can be used without fouling the guards on a 206kw 4x4?

 

I'm just trying to get an idea of the outer space envelope.

 

If you could through up your spacer experience and tyre size that would be awesome.

 

Thanks

Andrew

Assuming u have the stock 19" Vega or Trinity rims.....

 

My experience....

- no issues with 15mm hubcentric and factory 235/40/19.

- no issues with above setup when lowered 20mm.

- scrubbing issues on rear only, on full compression, with 245/40/19 tyres.

- no issues with 10mm hubcentric on the rear with 245/40/19 tyres.

 

I know of a few who run 20mm spacers with no issues, if it is not lowered.

Others have put a negative camber to avoid scrubbing issues.

Thank you

 

that helps a lot.

For your car. If you lowered it 20mm that would be the same as a sportsline? or is that lowering 20mm down on a sportsline level?

No, not quite.

 

Mine has DCC - hence it is already 15mm lower than the standard setup, from factory.

 

I don't know wat the difference is between a non-Sportline with DCC and a Sportline with DCC.

...or a Sportline without DCC.

 

Mine is lowered a further 20mm by the Eibach Pro-kit springs.

The same springs will lower a Superb with Standard suspension by 35mm.

 

These were my measurements, measuring from the centre of the wheel arch to the floor:-

Before lowering:-

- 690mm (front & rear)

 

After lowering:-

- 670mm (front & rear)

Just a question. The lowered 20mm full compression scrubbing issue do you know if that’s with DCC or not?

mine has DCC, yes.

I measured my Sportsline with DCC front wheel arch at 690mm

@Legion

measuring to center of wheel will exclude difference created by size of tire and disc

Sportline DCC isn't the same as optional Sport suspension

But then I couldn't compare to RS's measurements.

 

It would appear that the 162 with DCC is the same height as the 206 with DCC at 690mm.

So it would seem.  Confirms my thoughts.

non-Sportline with DCC (162 or 206) is same height as Sportline 206 with DCC.

Both have the same spec rims 19x8" and 235/40/19 tyres.

 

Thanks for measuring.

This was on H&R springs and 15mm spacers all round
