I have the same wheels and my car is lowered, I was thinking 25mm for the rears and 15mm for the fronts. Although I haven't gotten round to sorting any yet so I guess my view is pointless ha ha, but I measured the gap and that's what I got?

You're right it doesn't look that low lol

Anyways get yourself a straight edge or even better a level, find some good ground and put it up against your arch. Then measure the distance between tyre and arch edge and boom you have a spacer measurement. I'm guessing around 25mm for rears, 20mm for fronts

They h&r springs and are 35mm and were clearly shorter than oem but i expected more of a drop. Just shows how monster truck these cars were!

id be looking at around £80-£100 for spacers.

unless your going for small few mm spacers then you will find them a lot cheeper
