Wheel spacers
« on: 02 July 2012, 20:06 »
Further to the brake thread I need some help in what size spacers to run.

The wheels are genuine anni wheels with 225/45/18 tyres.  The car will be lowered approx 50mm on bilstein shocks.

Can I run 10mm spacers on the front and 15mm on the rear without any scrubbing?

I take it 'hubcentric' ones are the ones to go for?

Thanks in advance  :smiley:

Surely you mean 225/40?

If they are genuine Anni RCs they will be 7.5J with ET38 offset so you could run 10mm on the front and 20mm on the back  :wink:

I have 10mm up front and 20mm out back with my RC's. Kind of wish I had an extra 5mm on both.

I cant get onto any of my pictures in work, but I'll post one when I get home so you can see how it sits with the 10s and 20s. As above though, I'd be going 15s and 25s.

That's a seriously well set up Anniversary. I'd say there's a bit of rubbing in the rear with 30s though.
