Spacers

If I have ET45 aftermarket wheels, what size spacers is best to get 10, 15 or 20 mm?

 

[sheffboy]

personally with et45 I'd go 15mm front and 20mm rear.

that will give you et30 on the front and et25 on the rear. should look perfect.

you'll notice the car feel much more planted as well.

 

[Wolvotim]

you think spacers with std wheels would feel any different or isn't it worth it?

 

[DamianPM]

The car may feel more planted but spacers are mainly for the looks.

My car definitely feels more planted now, loving it.

I have 15s on the rear and it looks and feels much nicer. I think I will get some 20s now for the rear and put the 15s on the front when the weitec coilovers go on.

Do you really get no rubbing at all kineticz, even on full lock? You haven't stretched tyres or removed arch lining or anything?

Not saying I don't believe you I just want to make sure before I spend the monies

No its for one set( two spacers )which includes new longer bolts.

As much as I have driven, they haven't rubbed at all mate. I never have it on full lock but I doubt they rub even then. Tyres are standard 225 width and arch liners are all there

Would 20mm spacer all round be too much on my wheels?

225 Tyres and ET45

I think it would look stunning mate, mean as fook stance

 

[Dione J]

Kineticz - Did it resolve your rubbing issues on full lock?

 

[kineticz]

Never had any rubbing issues to start with mate

 

[Dione J]

what offset are your wheels & do you have a Cupra?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

My new wheels are ET30 on a 8x18 and thats pretty perfect IMO

 

[Dione J]

Adam - You have new wheels?

So if I have 20mm spacers that would make my ET45 offset to ET25?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Yes I have new wheels and yes it would take you to ET25

 

[Dione J]

Love the wheels matey, suit the car nicely.

Whats the recommended offset on a Leon Cupra? Need to try get rid of my rubbing on full lock!!

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I'd personally go 30 on front and maybe 25 on the rear or 30 30

 

[kineticz]

Yeah as your wheels are ET45, they will be reduced to ET25 as Adam confirms, which should solve your rubbing issues by bringing the ET back into an acceptable level, as ET45 is not recommended for the Leon mk1. I have an early Leon mk1 180 with 8x18, ET35 wheels.
