hubcentric spacers.
« on: 28 August 2008, 17:46 »
i need to bring my rear wheels out a fair bit. since i lowered the car the wheels seem to be catching on the lower spring cups (cheap and cheerful jamex kit).
the kit stated 40mm but does seem lower.....
anyway i need to bring the (205/50/r15) wheels out about 7-10mm i think..
anybody know where i can get a decent kit and how much am i looking at roughly?.
cheers, jamie.

Not really mate. Might want to try a local car mod type shop, but they probs will be only 4 stud ones to fit pugs and vauxhals..... Not for us refined VW enthusiasts :P
