after a set of spacers also, whats the best width to go for rears only?

need a set that comes with longer bolts rather than hubcentric...


advice needed guys?/

James I was corrected on this aswell, hubcentric just means its centered on the hub. Not bolted to the hub like you and I had thought.
I plan to try the 10mm spacers which will give you a 20mm wider rear stance without arch clashes

20mm the best width then you reckon...

sounds good, which are you going for?

leaving the fronts as they are?
I'm planning on buying light weight alloys for the track so will see how these sit before buying anything. I would say the wider the track the better but it fully depands on how the car is set up, how you drive and how you like the car to feel. Thats why I'm waiting till everything else is sorted first and see how it all feels on the track before I do anything like this.

Yup 15mm seems popular and should work fine. Were obviously very similar in our approach to things, try when people recommend but make up our own minds about there performance/suitability.
I want as little rotational mass as possible on the front, not worth fitting light weight 2 piece discs and alloys then adding a big lump of steel to give me a 10mm wider stance. Jurys out for me on the front, rear will be tried at some point. Let us know how you get on with these Nev
