Has anyone fitted spacers to their FR that has the standard 17" wheels, if so any suggestions as to the width that can be fitted.

I've done some rough measurements I as my car is lowered I'm suspecting that 10mm F+R is all I can safely get away with, 15mm may be possible but extra risk.

THanks
 
Can you use the original wheel bolts or need longer ones?

Anyone got any pictures of their Leon with spacers fitted?

If you get the hub centric ones then you can use your original bolts, providing the spacers bolt to your hub and then you bolt your wheel to the spacer

I thought the H&Rs came with new bolts of appropriate length. Mine did.
 
No you can't use your original bolts regardless of wether they're hubcentric or not. You will need to get longer wheel bolts unless you get the bolt on spacers which only usually come in 20mm and above. As above though, most spacers should come with any required bolts.

Damian, are the prices on the H&R ones you sell per wheel, per pair, of a set of 4?
 
Damian, can you guys also get longer locking wheel nuts? All well if the spacers come with nuts but missing the most important one to stop some idiot doing off with your wheels.
