Fitted Spacers - will they be ok when I change my wheels?

[davecash]

Fitted some 15mm eibach hubcentric rear spacers last night. Went for a drive to test the wheels weren't going to fall off and wow! Feels much more stable and almost like I was driving a bigger car. On standard wheels at the moment.

Anyway, I've got some 16x7 OZ Superturismos and Bilstein PSS9s to go on. Will I be ok dropping it quite low with the spacers and wider wheels on?

Cheers
Dave.

I'm very low on PSS9's with 15mm spacers and no issues here

No probs at all.

Cheers guys, just wanted to make absolutely sure. To anyone thinking about fitting spacers, do it. They cost peanuts, take minutes to fit and make a big difference.

how low is very low?

 

[sandro123]

is that 15mm each side or 15mm total widening?

 

[MaxIbizaCupra]

Wheres the best place to get the spacers from? Also, how much are they?

 

[davecash]

Got mine second hand but I believe Badger5 stocks them at around £80 including the longer wheel bolts.

And thats 15mm each side.

Bill, Badger Bill!

15mm either side, to give a total widening of 30mm.

It works so well adding spacers to ibiza as the car is a bits and pieces VAG car. Golf 2/3 front end and Polo 6N rear end, which is 35mm narrower rear than front. Adding the spacers "squares" the car up, and in driving terms makes the rear feel far more plated and stable.

after ive got my new bushes on the front im goin to invest in some spacers for the back, so i might be giving you a call mr Badger5
