Rear Spacers

[DanLewis1991]

which spacers make the wheels fill the rear arches the best? is it 25mm?
and what is the best make? hubcentric?

if i was to put the 25mm spacers on, and lower it 50mm on the standard wheels, will there be any rubbing?

I've used 20mm ones got them off eBay and lowered more than 50 and it's fine, people have run 30's without rubbing too

 

[DanLewis1991]

how well do they fill the arches mate, what about with 5 people in and twin subs in the back?

The 20mm ebay ones everyone goes for will look great and you will have no rubbing issues. Not sure about 25mm though!
Might be interesting to do something different. Just make sure they are hubcentric spacers though (ones that have the correct sized spigot/hub diameter - 57.1mm if I remember correctly!) so they sit snuggly on there and don't cause any wobble or bearing issues!

Even with full car and 3 full suitcases lol I don't have subs, there's no problems at all and I've got the cups out on my coilies.

Any one have any before and after pictures with these spacers?

Just seen these on eBay:

Must say I'm very tempted!

They are the ones I've got

Yeah 20mm will be fine and those ones posted would be fine, but I still don't trust spacers.. Never have and don't think I ever will.

It's better to (when you decide to) change your alloys and go for an offset like ET38/ET35 and then they will sit well in the arches.

May have to give them a try and report back!

 

[mazzerati]

Do it you won't be disappointed!

 

[BrettBlade]

Any pics of the car before/after from the back? If not, just an after shot would still be good! Trying to justify £50+ spend! Cheers.

 

[mazzerati]

erm theres a few pictures of my car on my readers ride. there should be something there but i never took some before and after lol sorry.

 

[BrettBlade]

Are the spacers fitted in post #1? Or by #7? As they look different spacings lol.

 

[mazzerati]
