  • Wheel Spacers

    Right then, i have seen some posts on wheel spacers but cant find a definitive answer on spacers with standard wheels. Anyone know the widest spacers you can get on the front and back without rubbing. Have the car 2 weeks now and cant help myself with some subtle mods.

    10mm all round is a "safe" increase IMO, makes a bigger visual difference than the 10mm would suggest!

      i'd agree with that CW.
      I've 10mm ea on front and 13mm ea on rear - did have 15mm but long story meaning I have one spare eibach 15mm spacer if you want!!
      IMHO running wider would increase the risk of kerbing quite significantly.
      10mm on front looks dope btw

        I think Mike ran 20mm all round on his imola S54 but as said 10mm all round is a safe bet and looks far better than standard.

            i have my standard wheels on at the moment with 20mm spacers on the front. wheels are flush with no rubbing problems.
            Think you are right to go 10mm though. If want eibach, i believe they have discontinued this size and you will need to go 12mm (no issue)

              Another vote for 10mm all around.

                  That sits really well. I assume that is yours Lowdub, what suspension are you running?

                          What about longer wheel bolts? Or are people sticking with standard?

                            you need matching longer wheel bolts and locking wheel bolts, lots of old posts with details but here's one with some links aswell,
