Spacers

[hardcore4]

Hi guys looking to get some spacers for my lcr to bring the wheels out a little, are 25mm the ones to go for and where is the best place to get them from?

Cheers!

Aha,
Well instead of starting a new topic (as I was literally about to),
I'll tag onto this one (Hope I can)
I have 25mm and 20mm spacers sat at home from my Mk4 Ibiza, I think their 5x100 57.1

Can you run 25's on the rear? or is 20 the max? I only ever saw people running 15mm on these forums.

Are the 'cars' lowered?

 

[LEE69]

Mine is running 20mm alround

 

[hardcore4]

yes the car is lowered. Where di you get those from lee and what measurements are they?

 

[LEE69]

help, whats best thing to do having 3mm spacers on front to clear brembo's with my pro race 1.2's. Whats should i do with the rears?

Car is running standard height on FSD's

Also depends on offset/width of alloys.

best thing to do is try it! If you get rubbing or dont like the look then take them off!

get 3mms for the rear too! or dont do anything on the rear! 3mm isn't going to affect your handling that much.

ok thanks, i'll space the rears also. Do you get any better handling if you space the rears more then front?

 

[MPJ88]

The fronts are by standard wider than the rears. Think having a wider front keeps it more stable. Is 3mm the most you want to go out on the front?

i think so yeah, was happy without the spacers but the wheels could do with the 3mm clearance as i'm getting rub marks on the caliper , just wasnt sure about what to do with the rears. seems most people are having more spacing at the rear wondering if i can improve handing

wheels are 18" et35 with 225 40 /18's

 

[MPJ88]

Reason people normally have more spacing on the rear is just to bring them out for looks. They're quite big arches so have more room to space them out. Handling will be best if you keep it even all round.

superb thats exactly what i need to know thanks. I'll try the 3mm all round

I recently put 15mm on the front and put my 10mm on the rears, looks much better and seems to turn better

Give me a shout if you need any prices.

Hi Damian, what would you recommend? I'm getting some 3mm spacers for the front this is purely to clear the calipers

 

[DamianPM]

I'd say go 5mm front and 15mm rear or if you wanted to stick to 3mm then 12mm rear.

Wheelbase are sending me the 3mm spacers, would the car feel better with 12mm on the rear then?
