wheel spacers

[Deleted member 49882]

Am thinking of buying some wheel spacers for the Boc. At the moment, it is lowered on 25/40 H&R springs. What do you think would be a reasonable wheel-spacer off-set? I don't want them looking silly wide. Am thinking somewhere between 5-8mm. Has anyone on here put spacers on? If so, what size? Any photographs as to how it looks would be apprecaited. Also, any comments about how it has affected handling would also be appreciated.

Ive got 17mm on the back which looks alot better from not having one at all...fills the arches nicely. Been meaning to get some for the front but havent got round to them yet. You can see the pics on my thread towards the end and handling wise, ive forgotten how it is since my car has been in the garage for 3 weeks but you should get some..looks a whole lot better with spacers

If you want performance, dont get the spacers if you all ready have the h&r springs. The tire will touch the mudguard while doing sharp turns at high speed or while braking.

On the rear, the smallest spacer you can fit over the hub is 14mm iirc (that's hubcentric spacers) and the front don't go any bigger that 4mm otherwise you'll start to get a wheel wobble if there not hubcentric.
I'm running 15mm H&R on the rear with coilovers and it does rub a little on motorway runs.
Check out my RR to see how they fill the arches.

Cheers guys for the info. Looking at the distance between the tires and the arches, I kind of thought the potential was there for tire scrub. I dont want that. So, I guess it is probably best to avoid the spacers then.

Ull be fine on springs up to 17mm on the rear! Iv never had any scrubbing on the front arches with 11mm on the front! (Smallest hubcentric to fit over the hub).

i have a 16mm front and 20mm rear spacers.

Do you have any pics?

wanna see how they look.

Would 15mm on the rear and 10mm on the front make the wheels rub? That's the sizes I want but not wanting any negetive side affects...

Anybody running 10/15 mm spacer set up?

Thanks

Anybody running 10/15 mm spacer set up?

I am running 10mm front and 15mm rear. Abit of rubbing on the rear. I'm on coilovers.

 

[Matt17121991]

Rubbing when you have passengers in the back? Or just rubs when going round corners etc?

Where's the best place to buy spacers from ?

Ive put 5mm spacers on my cup and im on h&r too. the difference is very little on looks. the handling i THINK has improved very little with the spacers. i havent put on the front yet. i was going to start this thread today tbh . victor has put 1.8cm on the back wheels looks wicked but i dont know if that would be safe with 3 persons in the back. to make a difference and say the wheels are out i rekon it should be more than 10mm. can i put pics on here? dont know how

Would these spacers be okay http://www.wheelspacers.uk.com/prod...l&cat=c322_Seat.html&bezeichnung=Ibiza&typ=6J

Cheers sorry for the inexperienced question

Anybody

I'm trying to get clarity on this myself but you'll need hubcentric spacers for definate.
I think you cant go less than 10mm on the front and 15mm on the rear. Anymore than 10/15 and you'll get rubbing issues, any less and they wont fit over the lip on the hubs.
