wheel spacers

[chris999]

sorry i know this is a common question? but i searched and couldn't find the answer i was looking for.
i have just been on euro parts and looking at getting spacers.... 2 questions really!!
1. do you normally only put then on the back or both?
2. i have seen some spacers on there (eibach) it says they widen it 16mm in total (8mm on each side), my car is lowered 30mm or so and have 195 45 16" on.

they want£40 inc vat and delivery, is that good?

any suggestions or something i could differently?

usually on the back only as the wheels are not as wide as the front.

people use badger5 for them.

i have 15mm on my rears - also need longer bolts too.

do a search for badger5 and spacers, about £90 all in methinks inc postage, longer bolts and 15mm decent spacers

 

[chris999]

oh right is that 15mm in total or on each side.

 

[acidstrato]

each side!

 

[chris999]

well excuse me mr Acid forgive me for stupidness!! what is the max i could go with my stats?

 

[David_smith_909]

probably wouldnt go more than 15mm mate, just so it doesnt rub

what suspension are you using?

 

[chris999]

just springs at the moment they were on there when i bought it.

if 6x16 std rims then 20mm is ya max but you have no room for excess lowering or wider/bigger wheels at a later date
