What spacers have you ended up running with the Gravel's?

What spacers have you ended up running with the Gravel's?

FK bolt on hubcentric spacers, 20mm at the rear and 15mm up front

Thanks for that, I'm looking at ordering the same wheels in Steel Grey, I'm assuming that they don't clear the brakes without spacers, is 10mm sufficient?

I was looking at the steel grey for mine but then opted for the gunmetal colour in the end (can't remember why though )

They don't clear the calipers unfortunately so spacers will be required. These come in et44 or et48 so the size of spacer needed will depend on which offset you go for. I was originally going for et44 but after I ordered them Rota decided to tell me they only have 3 wheels left so I had to go for et48 in the end

 

[james.l]

Do you not get loads of poke?

 

[John Lindsay]

Again, Rota only have them in ET48 so thats what I'm going for. Decided on Steel Grey because my car is black, and I think the gunmetal would just be a bit too dark, they look well on yours though!

You reckon they would clear the brakes with 10mm up front? That should make them the same ET as a standard LCR wheel.

 

[EL]

Do you not get loads of poke?

No poke at all mate. They sit about the same as when I had OEM wheels with 12mm spacers up front and 15m spacers at the rear. I calculated it all so that they sat within the arches

Steel grey should look great against the black mate. 10mm may fit but it will be really close. Let me check my car and measure the space between the wheel and caliper for you

Are the 15mm bolt-on FK spacers pretty decent? My R32 wheels don't clear the Brembos so need spacers. I want to use the same width front and rear so whatever I get has to fit onto the rear hubs, I know some spacers don't (as D.K found out) so thinking about ordering the 15mm FKs.

How quickly did they arrive when you ordered direct from Germany?

EDIT - and did they come with bolts?

Before I had the H&R spacers on the rears and had zero fitment issues. The FK spacers also fitted properly, but with these you also bolt them to the hub so it has no room to move

They came very quickly mate, think about a week and they give you tracking numbers so you can be a impatient geek like me and watch it every step of the way These spacers come with the bolts to mount them to the hub but then you need bolts to secure the wheel to the spacers. The site says you can use your OEM bolts but I purchased a new set of bolts. The front ones needed trimming slightly though as they were touching the spacers. The website says you should be able to use your OEM spacers with no issues so thinking this happened to me as its aftermarket wheels

@John Lindsay

I have just taken a couple of pics to show the gap between the front wheels and the calliper. This is with 15mm spacers, so I would say 10mm is going to be tight

Excuse the dirt, car needs a proper clean. Weather spoilt it all this weekend
