spacers and wheel alignment
« on: 21 July 2010, 13:38 »
I have some rx2s about to go on with spacers. However my wheels need setting up as I have excessive front inner tyre wear. Question is should I wait until the new wheels are on before I get the tracking etc done? Or can I get it done before I stick on the new wheels? Cheers.

Probably best to get the tracking done with the wheels you are going to run.

yeah they are rx2 mk4 ones. How does yours sit in the arches with 10mm spacers?
