They should fit, I think you only need them to be 5x100

your after 5x100 pcd with a 57.1mm bore from memory nev. Are you going 15mm on the back? I've got 15mm on the back at the min and am looking to go 10mm on the front soon. For the back you can get away with steel spacers as you don't feel the extra unsprung weight, but i found when using my steel spacers on the front I had a lot of extra vibration through the steering wheel; going for lightweight aluminium ones for the front now.

The hub centric bolt onto hub style spacers are a proper PITA, this is a two person job or you need to use a brick on the brake pedal or jimmy the brake disc vents to allow you to hold these inplce while you torque these inplace to 120 NM.
I would go for spacers just with longer bolts purely for this reason.
How close to the arch does 15mm spacers put the LCR OEM alloys.
Wouldn't want to sacrifice the the ability to handle big bumps at speed

I only ran 15mm on the front for 3days; they were definitely the limit, anymore and arch contact on bigger bumps would be unavoidable. 15mm on the back is perfect though, even with my trailer on, and a boot full of tools, there is no rubbing

Cheers Danny,

Still not convinced that spacer will make that much difference but will get some and have a play on the track to prove this for myself

 

[DannyC87]

I'm still playing around a bit with them too! Trying to source some 10mm's for the front and see how things go then. New tyres tomorrow should help

me too.

Heres an idea Nev you could buy them and test them and if you don't like them I'll buy them off of you and try them out.

 

[Nev_LCR]

good thinking, can we do that with your 2 piece discs???? you must of had enough of them by now.

 

[Willie]

Shouldn't make any difference TBH, the hub doesn't change so should be fine.
I wouldn't want to run much more than 5mm front and 10mm rear.

10mm hubcentric spacers are not that common AFAIK.
Bill machined down some 15mm eibach ones for me to get 10mm.

Try Venom Motor sport. They are good. I am ordering some 15mm myself. 15 back 10 front

 

[Nev_LCR]
