Wheel spacer help

[DaveJL]

Hi guys,

Hoping to get a set of Eibach springs on my K1 soon, 30mm drop, and would like to add some spacers to the wheels to fill out the arches.

I've been looking at H&R ones, and thinking of 12mm for the rear and 10mm for the front.

Does that sound about right or what would you recommend?

Cheers

Dave

ive h&r 15mm on the back of my K1 m8,they make a nice wide ar$e look but none on the front
also make sure there hubcentric 1's m8

 

[DaveJL]

Never thought of the 15mm ones.

Was looking at the hubcentric H&R ones, but also had a look at Creation Motorsport's examples.

Any experience with those?

Still think i'll go 12mm rear, 10 front, or maybe 15mm rear, 12 front.

10mm up front and 12mm/15mm at the rear looks just right.

Spot on, cheers mate!

This won't affect the tyres in any way will it?

 

[Benzy]

How much r these Damian? And do they come with longer bolts?

 

[porksword28]

Just looked on website H&R are about £100 an axle

 

[DaveJL]

Any thoughts on the Creation Motorsport Spacers? Look like nice bits of kit.

Would a 15mm rear, 10mm front cause any rubbing if lowered on 30mm Eibach springs? Don't want the tyres to catch the arches etc.

Also, would the aluminium ones look daft against my black wheels?

Can you get the necessary longer locking bolt?

Get them powder coated mate. Shouldnt cost much

i want to know if 20mm will go on the rear of a Cupra

 

[DamianPM]

Best thing to do is hold something flat against the arch and the measure from it to the tyre sidewall, this will give you the measurement of what space you have to work with.

never thought about that cheers

Continuing on the spacer thread if DaveJL don't mind

Has any one fitted wheel spacers to a none lowered cupra and if so does it look ok.

Pic's would be nice if you have any.....

Pretty much stuck with the standard cupra drop
(curbs and many people in back prevent lowering as I live in speed bump mountain land)

Don't know if it will look daft - and apparently cupra only drops 20mm on the 50/30mm eibach sportlines and no difference in drop from pro sports hope Damien @DPM will correct me if I'm wrong (Thanks) have you seen any wheel spacers fitted to none lowered cars mate - whats your view Damien please..

 

[toosmiles]

10mm up front and 12mm/15mm at the rear looks just right.

Damian @ DPM Performance

ive got these fitted on mine,damian recommended this and it looks fat!

 

[jh1]

Yep agree - vastly improved appearance - seen the before n after pics but I can't find anything about is yours lowered or not mate......

 

[Tiburon]

Where from you got the correct bolts?

 

[toosmiles]

Yep agree - vastly improved appearance - seen the before n after pics but I can't find anything about is yours lowered or not mate......

lowered on sportlines m8

 

[jh1]

I thought so - probably why it looks soooooo smooth or as Will eye am says that's dope

Thanks for reply will still keep wondering if I should ban rear passengers, lower, or just stick on spacers !!!! theres that much info out on the web you can do your head in.
To far out at back - understeer, unstable blah blah blah - agree with you Damien seems to offer expert advice (Guess that's his job - a suspension expert) so - waiting to get out the measuring stick and visualise what spacers would look like without lowering car, did you get all the bolts and locking bolt with your kit - and anything you needed to know that wasn't obvious, hope you don't mind me picking ya brain......
