HELP! Spacers advice

[dom]

I'm aware that these is not entirely accurate because they are 15" wheels but this should help still.

My old Mk3 had 15x6.5" wheels with an offset of ET43, I ran 23mm rear spacers and 18mm fronts bringing the final offset to ET20 rear and ET25 front and this is how it looked with no arch work.





Wheels were pretty much flush (suspension hadn't settled from being jacked up in these pics)

Did you get any rub with this set up?? I have a similar set up, 15" wheels (but 7" wide) and standard ride height and am going to use 20mm spacers on each side, front and back.

When the coilies were back down there was no rubbing, it was pretty close though

Ive got 25mm spacers each side on the rear,think my rims are ET43 ,so im at ET18 ,so ive got contact for the sake of 2mm if dom could run ET20 with no contact non?

What size tyres are you running? Mine were 195/45/15 iirc. You'd be amazed at how much difference a couple of mm makes when it comes to wheel fitment!

I take it this is 23 and 18 per side?

Looks pretty spot on.

Yup, in the pic of the rear the front hadn't been fitted hence the tuck up front, but it sat very nicely with those final offsets

This is great, thanks for the pics guys.

As always great advice.
