Spacer pic request..

[MarkJ]

Hi, anyone got 10,15 or 20mm rear spacers, looking to get some for my beeza but not sure what size to go for and what they will look like. Anyone got any pics that will show me what they look like? and any opinions on which would be best. Thanks

I won't think the spacers will show you much difference in pics.

Best would probably be watch caused the least fouling on your arch and not to wide to place to much strain on your compents such as driveshafts.

What is the spacing difference between front and rear as I am sure the fronts are further out then the rears?

 

[MarkJ]

Yeah the front is a lot further out, the rear wheels sit really tucked away but not sure what the difference is, would just like to even them up really.

15mm rear spaces and 3mm front ones

 

[MarkJ]

Thanks mate, that looks a lot better than standard, might be the way to go.

What age is your car? If it is pre-facelift you will get a bit of fouling with 15mm on the rear if the car is lowered & you've got some weight in the back. The post facelift had rolled rear arches so I think you can go to 20mm without problems.

Here is a crap photo of mine - standard front and 15mm on the rear.

Mine is '99, soon to be lowered 40mm. May go 20 then, yours looks about right with 15 though. Hmm

Easy to fit

If I can do it, it makes them easy because I am rubbish

My old 1.4 Mk2 with 16" Mk3 Ibiza alloys, standard height with no mowering etc.

does it make a difference to the handling? whats the point in them

 

[andyj]

improves the handling

the Mk2/3 Ibiza has a Mk2 Golf front suspension set-up and a Mk4 Polo rear, so the rear track is 37mm narrower than the front.

15mm rear spacers (1 each side) bring the rear track up close to the front... making the general handling alot better

have a search for more info.... been discussed loads of times
