Rear Spacers

[AdamCupra]

Im looking of fitting Standard MK3 wheels for my ibiza... i have some 17" kahn jobbies on at the moment... but i want to go for the tinkered with OEM look...

Basically i want to know which width of spacers to go for... 15 or 20mm

If it helps. i will be lowering that car on coilovers at some point soon..

thanks

15mm and you'll be set...

This is what most Mk3 owners run... If you're stuck for somewhere to purchase some, Bill at Badger5 (Theres a link on the forum main page) sells them iirc...

If you're sticking with the standard Cupra wheels then get some 20mm spacers as they're narrow enough not to catch the arches, even when lowered.

I started with 15mm and then went to 20 as they still looked too far in the arches.

Here's how they looked on 15mm:

Here's how they look on 20mm now:

thanks for the advice...

20mm looks like the way to go.. always supprised me why seat let them go out looking so naff

These what i am looking too buy next on my list. Was going to buy a forge tip but that can wait because be doing a couple of track days next year and would rather concentrate on my handling.

I was going to go for 15mm but now i know most people have 20mm that's what im going for now

Got 20mm on mine, lowered, but not a silly amount and they are fine. Id go for 20mm, if you get 15mm you'll only be wishing you went for 20mm's

cheers mate, what sort of price am i looking at for 20mm then.

And what's the best brand ones too go for? I was reading hubcentrics

I do have front and back ARB Front upper and back upper struts / Next on list will be the 20mm rear spacers then. Then some front, and back lower struts. Or do you reckon buy them before my spacers? Sorry too be a pain,i do search but just don't always get 100% answers.

Cheers

I am running 20mm rear spacers too, I agree with Cupramillo if you did go for the 15mm ones you may end up regretting not getting the 20mm ones as they fill the rear arch perfectly

Thanks mate,will be deffo buying 20mm now i know

 

[AdamCupra]

Well i got my 20mm spacers a few days ago now... i got them off ebay... £58 delivered... cant really complain.
