If that were mine I'd go 10mm higher at the front and 10mm lower at the back.

I like the front.

Measure wheel lip the bottom of wheel arch, take note. Then do the same on the rear and drop the rear what ever the difference is.


Arch gap needs to be the same for a good stance

Rear needs to come down more. Otherwise it's all good.

mine at the moment is on its bollax, with the (winter) longbeach wheels, but iv got 15mm spacers all round, it looks much better.. iv seen many around in my area without spacers and u can see the inner arch, NOT GOOD !  IMO prefer the wheels tucked right into the arch ......

yeah i know what you mean, mine still doesn't sit right. gotta get some spacers when i get paid. 15mm are the way to go then?

Title: Re: opinions please! what do you think of my height
Post by: Itteh on 08 November 2012, 23:10

well i got 15 as my normal wheels are deep dish and my brakes are big, so the caliper was touching the inner bit of the alloy, so i had no choice part from 15mm spacers, i could snap a pik of myn with 15 so u know what urs will look like before u go buy them ? .........
