I was wondering what's the maximum thickness of wheel spacers I can put on the car with standard vRS wheels (without rubbing issues)?

As far as I see it I shouldn't put any spacers on because although there is about 18mm between the wheel arch and the tire, there is a step in the wheel arch obout 20mm above. And as I see it if I put spacers on, the tyre will rub against this step. (hope you understand what I'm trying to say:) )

If you've not lowered it to the extreme, then 15mm eibach hubcentrics are very good spacers. I have them on the front so my wheels clear my brembos, and on the back to match front to back. I'm lowered about 40mm and don't have any rubbing issues until I get about 3 people + luggage in the back. Front never rubs.

I've got standard suspension and I would put spacers only on the rear...

Is the rear track on the fabia like the Ibiza/Polo - 15mm narrower than the front?

Is the rear track on the fabia like the Ibiza/Polo - 15mm narrower than the front?

i would imagine so, the rear beam is exactly the same on all three cars. Only thing that may be different is the offset of the wheels. :confused:

Track on the vrs:

front 1432 mm

rear 1422 mm

10mm, I was close

My rear has 20mm spacers, the track is now 1462mm, so the rear is 15mm wider each side! Handles better!

My car feels better on 15mm spacers, but I think my front bushes are shot, so need new ones which will improve handling no end I reckon.

Just done those too, cupra ones, tracking needs doing again though!

Anyone else using spacers on standard vRS wheels?
