I wouldn't have thought you would need spacers. If you leave the current Monzas on as well. they'll stick out plenty far enough. You might need the little spats off an R tho', when it comes to MOT time.

I ran a Mk2 with a similar set up a few years back, except I fitted the extra wheels to the rear as well.

Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Not sure if I like those alloys to much tbo...?

I'd get your existing alloys refurbed in satin or gloss black.

What size are they?

I think you might want to go a size bigger on the rears then it'd look like a hot rod!  :laugh:
