Your car is 5x112 pcd so basically all you need to think of is the actual spacer size 5, 10, 15 or 20mm just bear in mind that which ever you buy you need to obviously double for when on the car I have 5mm front and 15mm on the rear of my car

With regards to the bolts on spacers standard bolts should be fine up to 10-11mm after that you need longer bolts

I've got 15mm rear, 10mm front.

You'll usually get the bolts with them, so that'll save any messing having to buy them.

Get hubcentric spacers. They're widely available but I got mine from a company on eBay, 39.99 for 2 spaces and 10 bolts. You'll need radius bolts for standard wheels and tapered for aftermarket.

Thanks guys.

Right so 5x112 - need 4 - wider at the back?

Okay so 15mm rear and 10mm front.

This won't cause rubbing or anything will it

Hey -Herc-

We tend to recommend the ST Suspension wheel spacers: http://www.awesomegti.com/car/seat/leon1p/f/brands/stsuspension/subpart/WheelSpacers

All these spacers are hubcentric, the 10mm come with a spigot extension so is a little more expensive than the 11mm spacers which are a 'normal' hubcentric spacer.

10mm Spacers : http://www.awesomegti.com/car/seat/...m-system-dz-flat-spacer-with-spigot-extension
11mm Spacers : http://www.awesomegti.com/car/seat/...1mm-system-d2-hub-centric-bolt-through-spacer
15mm Spacers : http://www.awesomegti.com/car/seat/...1mm-system-d2-hub-centric-bolt-through-spacer

I am sure we could offer a little forum discount for you too if you want to give us a call on 0161 776 0777 opt 1

Cheers!

I'd say 10mm front and 15mm rear will be the best options and it's also by far the most popular.

If I can be any help with info or prices just let me know.

Hi all.

Do people have good results with 10mm front and 15mm rear? When the car is lowered (on coilovers)

In respect of not rubbing or getting vibrations?

I'm considering spacers on my K1.
