Spacers... Quick qestion :-S
« on: 05 February 2012, 23:27 »
Hi chaps, putting sum coilovers on Within the next few Weeks and also gunna get sum spacers.

I have standerd 1.8T 16" alloys, I've been told go for 20mm each on the back two wheels, and 10mm each On the front. It's tht ok? I'm just worried about rubbing tbh? :-S

Thanks Phil

The most I've seen on standard 16s on the front without mucking around with stretched tyres etc is 13mm
