So what mm would cause the wheels to pertrude? Are 20mm ok or does it depend on the wheel/tyre? Or am I best with 15mm all round or as chris suggested something like 15mm rear and 10mm front would that give a noticable difference? How do I know if I need a bolt on or bolt through so I can order some?
