So I have FL FR with the standard 17" rims which I think look way too small, Unfortunatly I can't afford to upgrade to 18s buying new and 2nd hand Ibera or Cupra rims are very rare to find so my what I'm thinking is would fitting spacers all round( I was thinking about 10mm per wheel) give the impression of the wheels filling the arches better?

Anyone done anything similar?
Thoughts please :)

10mm won't do anything on standard rims (something like et50/51??) get 15mm minimum :D

Thanks for the feedback people, keep it coming :)

I had spacers on the rear of my LCR with no issues.

Damian I'd likely be getting them from you should id decide to get some.

Ebay has spacers with bolts for around £45-50 but won't be as good quality as the ones above. I have 15mm FK's on the rear of mine. Fills the arch nicely.

Thanks everybody for your ideas and suggestion but I've just yesterday worked out a deal for a set of cupra orion alloys which I'll be picking up on Monday.
Cheers again for your opinions :)
