    One point with spacers, obvously they put extra stress on everything, especially shite on mk1 clios are the wheel bearing design, so you'll go throguh them even faster than before

    Spacers on valvers.

    As above I've used 15mm hubcentric before, but the wheels tended to resonate at higher speeds, was good and you could notice the difference. Then got williams widetrack and was alot better, you you look around and bide your time you can get widetrack set up for £100-£150. You'll need shocks...
