Wheel Spacer Advice?

[Rich - FR]

I need some advice on wheel spacers? I have a pfl Leon FR with standard 7.5j x 18" alloy wheels.

I want to push the wheels out a little further, especially the rears as they site way too far in for my liking. I will be buying hubcentric with longer bolts, just unsure on ideal spacer size?

Any recommendations appreciated?

I'd say only buy a good quality hubcentric spacer
Something like 10mm each side on the rear and 8mm each side front.
A set of H&R including bolts will cost you about £150
A good condition used set about £100

Thanks for your advice, would 8mm spacers not be too big on the fronts?

Sure most people go for 15mm rear & 10mm front.

It depends what you prefer.
People run bigger spacers but it depends how you want it to look.
Pretty sure 8mm is the smallest hubcentric spacer available

20mm H&R on the back of mine sits perfect.

20mm H&R on the back of mine sits perfect.

Id tap that

Thanks for all the input. I guess it will depend on wheel width and offset you have that will determine what size to go for. What width and offset are your wheels locky?

Not sure what the offset is for the standard FR 18" wheels?

Anybody fitted spacers with the standard FR wheels? If so pics would help, i would rather get them right first time and will be buying them off the net

On the standard FR wheels I'd say 10mm front and 15mm rear.

As mentioned it's best to stick with good quality options like H&R if possible.

Thanks for that Damian, appreciated.

Do you do them? If so do they come with longer bolts and how much you looking at for full set?

 

[DamianPM]

We do yes and yes they do.

The H&R 10mm with bolts are £90.00 a pair and the H&R 15mm with bolts are £100.00 a pair.
