I know this has been discussed before but i cant use the search thing at work for some reason! keeps coming up with an error.

I just bought new alloys, posted in here about them and i can tell the back wheels will need to come out a bit, from what i can tell you dont do the front with ibizas? just wondered on what everyone had and what looks best, i dont want the back to look good and then it makes the front look odd! so i'm thinking 15mm unless you've got photos to prove me wrong in which case i'll go with 20mm! ta :)

fleabay....from company called ac motorsports....paid approx 50 quid same as what ST has on his FR

That's where I got mine from. AC Motorsport Services.

20mm all the way! :D Brings the wheels out spot on. Otherwise it'll be like just that bit too far in and you're regret it for the rest of your life. And yes, i do mean for the rest of your life, you'll be on your death bed and your last words will be - "I should've listened to Ash and bought 20mm spacers instead of 15mm."

Promise!

No one cares what you think Richturd. :lol:

I've heard that some 15mm spacers have problems with spigot clearance....I originally bought 15mm spacers but they wouldn't fit over the spigot (as some have long spigots, as mine obviously did). So basically the spacer wouldn't fit flush with the hub. So bought 20mm spacers and do not regret it! :D

This is mine with 20mm spacers compared to my parents without.

There will always be problems if you buy ones that don't fit lol :lol: mine are AMD Technik hubcentric ones. Bought them for £50 off a mate with longer bolts and 4 locking bolts aswell, bargain! Don't regret them one bit :D
