Spacers

It would feel more planted and also look visually better.

So if I use the 3mm spacers I'm getting on the front 12mm on the rear would be best setup for handling etc?

Any additional tyre wear/bearing etc with a setup like that m8

 

[DamianPM]

No you should be fine with that setup.

12mm would be hubcentric I presume? What would you recommend? How much would I need to spend

 

[DamianPM]

It would yes.

All spacer prices are here - http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/wheel-spacers-vag-5100-571-c-2207_2868.html

Are you reccomending 12mm per axle or 12mm each side?

Not sure what kind of 3mm spacer wheelbase is sending me yet is non hubcentric safe to use

 

[DamianPM]

12mm either side.

I'd always stick with hubcentric.

I doubt the spacers they send will be hubcentric

Should I not use them ?

This situation is getting complex, I bought the wheels on the advice they cleared the calipers

What price is the kit/setup you would reccomend obviously if it improves handling and it safe I can understand spending a bit more.

 

[DamianPM]

Hubcentric is when the centre bore of the spacer is the same as the hub, if you want the lips on the spacers then you'll need to go 8/10mm and above.

All the prices are in the link above but if you'd like to discuss just give us a call.

Ok, so 3mm non hubcentric spacer should be fine then as the wheel should still locate it self on the hub?

I'll wait and see what arrives and go from there, hopefully just have to buy the rears

Mine is running 20mm alround

What Std. ET are on these wheels & are they 17" rims,also what exact size tyres ?
Thanks

I still want to bring the rear wheels out, can you get away with 20mm spacers on the rear. I would like the bolt on ones like lee has they would be ideal as i wouldnt need loads more nuts etc but the smallest size i can see is 20mm.

I have 3mm spacers on the front at moment just to clear the brakes with TD 1.2's

 

[DamianPM]

What offset are the wheels and what drop do you have?

Damian @ DPM Performance

 

[Br!dges]

15mm front & 20mm rear on mine... both hubcentric of course

hi damian my car is standard height on koni FSD's,

I have two sets of wheels. my main set is pro race 1.2's all ET35 and i have my original LCR rims with winters on them at mo

If both sets could be spaced without having to buy loads more nuts/lock nuts that would be ideal.

bridges your car looks stunning do you have any problems with regard to rubbing etc when carrying a full load

 

[Br!dges]

Cheers for the comment

The car is very low on the rears (needs to be raised a tad) but with no load there's no rubbing. I've only had 1 passenger in the rear & it rubbed at times but as said the rear is low!!

 

[DOLBY]

any more pics bridges? I have just bought 20mm spacers for the rear and my 15mm ones will be going on the front....

Kinda bought them blindly as there is virtually NO pictures around of low LCRs on this spacer set up.

Looks good though buddy

 

[Br!dges]

Check em out

Bit uneven on the grass but the rears are looow! Lol

 

[Wolvo-Oleg]

That looks absolutely spot on.

My life needs spacers and pressed plates

The Pro Race will most likely use a tapered head bolt and the LCR wheels will use a radius so you'd need different bolt regardless but you could use the same actual spacers for each set. I'd go 15mm rear and 10mm front.
