What wheel spacers with OEM 19" wheels

[stugee106]

Hi,

I was wondering what spacers people are running with the the OEM cupra 19" wheels? Also can you post any pics with them fitted?

Cheers

I went 15 front & 15 back. Did have 20’s on the back but they were causing massive arch rub so had to step down to 15’s.

I hope the 20s dont cause too much rub, are you estate or hatch

Hi, sorry to revive an old thread. I fitted 12mm front 15mm rear on my 290 and the front tyres were rubbing on the wheel arch plastic winglets/spoiler thing. I'm going to remove these. Does anyone know what there actual purpose serves.... cheers.

Car manufacturers fit those little plastic lips / wheel spoilers when there”s a risk the tyres may extend beyond the wheel arch edge. They are intended to cover any exposed sections of tyre tread when viewed from directly above the wheel - I believe that legally (in the UK), and for safety reasons, no part of the tyre should extend beyond the bodywork when viewed from above.

I posed this to my mechanic when he did my spacer’s, basically to let you know the wheels are rubbing before they rub on the actual arches.

Edit. Seems i was way off.
