I've had a good look round, but can't fully work out what I need.
I am fitting sportline 30/50 eibach springs next week. But the wheels really need spacing out.
I have the standard 17" wheels on the car.
I am thinking 10mm front and 15mm rear.
Can these be hubcentric? Does anyone know what the lip size is on the front and rear hubs?

Not sure what to get.

If you are keeping the 17" standard wheels on probably get away with 20mm spacers on back and 15mm on front need longer bolts as well

Dare I go with 20mm? Scary lol
I might get some 15mm ones and try them on the back and see how they go. Then look at the front separate.

Visually I'd say 10mm front and 15mm rear will be best but if you want them as wide as possible then you should get away with 20mm on the rear.

Cheers gents.
I fitted the suspension and spacers today. I actually put 8mm on the front thinking I would still have some hub to locate the wheel on.
Which is right I do. But there's a huge chamfer on the wheels so they don't touch. Is there a way of filling the chamfer on the standard wheels? I've looked at spigots, but they look to be more for aftermarket wheels.
Ho hum!

Iv been running 15mm upfront and 20mm on the rear without any problems, buy quality brand like H&R . The 20mm trak+ Bolt to the hub then you bolt the wheel to the spacer so no need for long bolts

Check my RR for pictures of before after shots etc

Hi, so did you put the 10mm on the front, 15mm on the back on standard 17inch rims and the tyres stuck out of the bodywork? Both front and back?

I have 15mm on the front and 20mm on the back on standard FR rims. Looks much nicer.

Are you able to share any pictures with us of the car as it is? I'm mulling over new (wider) wheels but really not sure weather to part with £1k when a decent look can be achieved with OEM wheels, which i don't mind, and quite like not having to pay a fortune for tyres.
