182's with spacers

[mjf93]

Hi, looking to get some spacers for my 182, it's got eibach springs with 172 cup turini's. It's only a road car, so I'm just looking for a little bit of an more aggressive look.
Could people post some pictures of theirs and what spacers they run so I can see what they look like, and what to go for.
ATM I'm thinking 15mm all round

15mm with 1 degree camber on the rear. 20mm on the front. Slight scrubbing on the front with full lock, bit on the rear when car fully loaded. Running on Cooksports.

Stunning car!

20mm front spacers and 10mm rears.

Couple of mine...

Cooksport Springs on Cup Shocks, 20mm front spacers, 15mm rear spacer with 1.5 Degrees of camber on the front.

might help if people put cup or trophy offset for the turinis too?

 

[deutsche_blonde]

Good point! Cup for me, 37.5.

ET40 Speedline's on mine..

Cup for me also

I'm in exactly the same position and it's taking me a while to decide what to get.
I'm running cooksports and cup turinis and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go 15mm front 10mm rear.

That's the spacer options I'm thinking of going too, I think 20mm might scrub lowered with coilovers at the front and no real negative camber

 

[Coops Mk1]

I'm on 10mm rear, 15mm front and standard camber.

About to fit cup Turinis and sportlines, so I'll let you know how I get on.

Same setup but cooksports and Williams wheels the rears scrubbed a bit when car was laden or undulating road surface.

But the Willy wheels were lower offset so hoping the spacers I have with cup offset should be spot on

Really interested to see some pictures with the cup turinis and sportlines fitted. I've been researching this for a while now but I just can't decide.
In an ideal world I'd like to go with 20mm on the front because then I could use my standard bolts but I really hate the over spaced look so I'm thinking 15mm will give me just the right look and no scrubbing.
From what I've seen on here 20mm on the front with ET38.5 turinis is just a bit too much for me so I'm hoping 15mm will be perfect.

Are your 15mm spacers bolt to hub type? If so did you buy shorter bolts or did you shorten your standard bolts?

I look forward to seeing how you get on.

 

[Coops Mk1]

Jack

no they are bolt through eibach ones, I have longer adonised TPi bolts. works fine

I will post pictures as soon as its all fitted and let you know mate, if my tyres land should be over the weekend

oh for info I have fitted 195/45 R16 Toyo Proxies T1R's to the cup turinis, so 172 cup fit tyres but putting them on a 182 that should have 205/45 on it. hoping this will help to alleviate any scrub issues too

 

[Jack-C]

Thanks for the info

I'm also running 195/45 R16 tyres so our setups are very similar.

Look forward to seeing some pics and hearing your thoughts

 

[mjf93]

Thanks for all the replies, some really nice looking cars.
I think I'm going to go for 15mm front and 10mm rears. From what you've said I shouldn't get much rubbing that way.
Did you notice any difference in handling?

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

25mm front 20 rear is perfect. I have 25mm on the back and they rub (but cause no damage) if i go over a bump. I can only have one person in the back aswell lol

 

[sikora]

What would you recommend for a Trophy? Wouldn't mind spacing the wheels out a little, but don't want any scrubbing

 

[Jack-C]

20mm front 15mm back for trophy offset turinis

 

[Chris_Beer]

No spacers!
Williams Wheels
Front over cambered, must be 2-3' approx, need to sort this

 

[williamsclio1]

Can some please please send me a link to 20mm hub centric spacers please.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

I'm a spacer virgin, can someone be a legend and explain how this works..? Do spacers affect the handling, tyre wear etc..? Do you need new longer wheel bolts or can you go a certain thickness before needing them.. I'd like to beef the stance slightly without looking silly, I have cup shocks and Cooksports and 182 cup pack alloys, any help appreciated greatly.!:smile: :up:

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Check my thread out from a while back. Might be of use to you....

My spacers are hub centric ones from Dan @ mad engineering who are in traders section on here.

Also if you check my car thread there's before and after shots etc. Might help you decide. [emoji106]

 

[williamsclio1]

With you setup I would go for 20mm on the front 15mm on the rear as it won't rub and looks awesome, I can send you the links to the cheapest sets I've found. 20mm from Italy £50 delivered and 16mm for £45 delivered bot sets come with the longer bolts.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Mine is same setup and did lightly rub with 205 tyres fitted mind.
Once I fitted 195 tyres it was perfect, no more rubbing.

 

[Jack-C]

@williamsclio1 those 16mm spacers you found are they from JJC as a kit?

Get the spacers from JJC on eBay and the bolts direct from the website. Works out cheaper.

Here's a link

[Sargara]

I went 15mm to clear the Brembo callipers as it was the smallest Hubcentric I could find. I'm using: http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?a...enault-Clio-Mk2-4-Stud-H-R-Trak-Wheel-Spacers
H&R Trak+

 

[williamsclio1]

Thanks Jack, I have actually already received the JJC 16mm spacers.

These are the other set that I ordered last night:

[The Fatty]

any of you on spacers suffer with wheel bearings going more than usual?

My rears are behind the hub type. So doesn't actually make any difference to bearing.
The fronts are hub centric, have only had mine fitted for 15 or 20k. Checked for noise and still nothing. So all seems well.

 

[williamsclio1]

Yeah on the rear its better to have plate spacers which fit on the rear beam as apposed to the hub, do tend to be a bit more expensive and are more difficult to fit. Yes it does put more pressure on the wheel bearings however from my understanding the bearings are pretty stubborn and are not particularly prone to letting go on the Clio's

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Their actually cheaper to buy but expensive to fit. But I was changing rear discs anyway (which is a 1 piece unit with wheel bearing pressed into) so I just fitted them all same time.
My rear bearings were shot at 60k so it was a good job I fitted new discs.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Thanks for the replies, that's given me food for thought. I do like the look of some of these spacer'ed Clios, it does beef the stance up nicely! :smile::up:
