10mm really and don't use cheap spacers, venom or ebay is your best bet.

I will say max 12mm...but trim the plastic arches a little on the inside (if you run them) as 205 tryes will touch slightly!! (or fit 195's)

My 195s rubbed slightly with 15mm spacers. Nothing horrendous but not what you want.

I have a box load of 10mm hubcentric spacers. 57.1mm centre bore and they're 5x100 / 5x112 multifit for mk3/mk4/mk5. You'll need to get yourself some longer wheel bolts though (ebay!)

forum offer £40 a pair plus delivery! .. or you can spend 100 quid+ on h&r :lipsrsealed: :laugh:

Don't buy cheap spacers

And i would only recommend hubcentric ones, you can get wheel wobble, uneven tyre wear etc from ones that don't sit on the hub - the weight of the car is only supported on the bolts otherwise

There is chap on Ebay - ESP engineering, based in Crowborough, who makes excellent quality ones...

As far a show big a spacer you can fir depends on the ET of your wheels

mine are ET31 and i run 15mm spacers each at the rear and the arches don't catch as they're rolled and pulled slightly
