Cheers, how good are them spacers in the ebay link you sent? Also I guess the bolts are longer bolts?
Yes mate the spacers are hubcentric and the bolts are longer. Do the job nicely and you basically get two sets for the price of one lol
what do people think of these?
would be easier on wheel changes also as the wheel studs are part of them - expensive at £80 a pair

Yeah they would be easier to fit as the bolts would hold the hub in place but £80 a pair is £160 for a set, too much IMO.
so much more than just buying new wheels
whats the difference with all these spacers than what halfords order in ?? appart from they dont come with longer bolts

The difference is crap from Halfrauds is usually a poor quality cast spacer that are not usually hubcentric and the good quality ones you get from other companys are hubcentric and usually designed for certain models not multi fit.
mine are machined and drilled from solid sheet, I've seen cheap cast ones crack......not worth risking cheap spacers on something important like this.
spose not , and now u mention i think they were cast , and had lots of holes in and was a multi fit for
i i fit R32brakes on mine , could my starfishes clear the disks

I'd go 15 on the fronts and 20 on the rears I reckon.
If you want to know what 15's on the front would look like have a look at the pics of me new wheels as there ET30 like yours would be.

15's look awfully close on the fronts and im quite low down on mine, lowered 50mm on LC and the top of the tyre must be about 2cm away from the front arch. Rear is slightly higher due to no weight in the boot.
Hmmm cant make up my mind!! arrghhhhh

Mines about 55-60mm and they dont rub with a ET30 so your ET45 with a 15mm spacer will obviously be the same.
I reckon you could go 20 tho as my old wheels were even wider and they never rubbed.
I'd say 15 front and 20 rear

Do you think they will rub the top of the arch liner with 20mm up front?
Also, do you get any issues with catching your front splitter mate?

I'm not to sure.......why not 15 front 20 rear? I reckon that would look pretty smart I'm thinking of spacing my rears out more.
My splitter is fine I've had hardly any issues with hitting stuff although I'm not stupid enough to go into multistory car parks etc where it would have issues.
Normal speed bumps are fine only problem I've had was the sills hitting a speed bump with 4 people in car.

Trying to save costs by purchasing that kit listed from ebay, its a 20 kit front and rear!
Thats good to hear about the splitter - do you have any probs getting on and off ramps in the garage for MOT or servicing time?

I do 
Which is why I bought coilovers
Adjust them for garage work as it won't go up the ramp otherwise. When lowered the splitter is always rubbing on the driveway as I pull out and catches on speedbumps but only just.

Of course, because if they can't get it on the ramp, they can't test it can they
I bought these and they don't fit. The centre bore is well over 60mm. Shouldn't they be 57.1mm?
The quality isn't great either. They are cast and a couple have a few chunks missing out of them.
Refund methinks and buy some branded quality ones.
