25mm spacers on.

[Baz-ESD]

After a lot of annoying miss calculations such as buying 10mm spacer for the front to stop the little rubbing at various times and to give more room for flex from the shocks. I then bought some longer bolts which took around a month to arrive from halfords, finally i had all i needed and when i came to fit them the spacer didnt leave enough room for the wheel to sit on the center lol.

So 1 and a half months and no further forward i bought some 25mm spacers and they came the next day!

The front looked similar to this before the spacers;

And with the new addition....

It looks alot better, no more shaking at higher speeds like it did with the washers :quiet:

No more rubbing on full locks and alot begtter handling.

Excuse the shoes, morning after the night before :rasp:

What you think anyway, improvement? or out too much?

Cheers, Baz.

Looks good. The rears look a little lost though.

i know mate im not going to get any more spacers for them yet, thinkin about lowering it more at the rear yet shitty none adjustable rear coils

 

[Hazza]

Where did u get these frm?

 

[Baz-ESD]

ebay mate, like £41 buy it now with £9 postage well worth it as the nuts n 10mm spacers cost like £40

 

[Hazza]

Did you only buy a pair for the front?

im waiting on future mods to decide wether i need it out anymore incase of rubbing mate, how much did it cost to get arches rolled and doesnt it made your arches wider??

Says you with dodgy non fitting wheels!

 

[Laura]

they do fit tho lol, and ive uprated the appropriate parts or will be doing shortly. plus it goes with the look and isnt just standard wheels

 

[Baz-ESD]

what extra strain will i get from having these? i aint had o use longer bolts or anything so that is stillok right?

 

[Laura]

you should always use longer bolts when spacing, will also put more strain on wheel bearings

 

[Baz-ESD]

ah ok well, the spcers bolted on leave 4 extra holes for standard nuts so didnt need longer ones and the bearing will still be ok tho?

 

[Christopher]

don't worry fella... it's not worth it, for the difference it makes

they look reet!

£25 each arch from wheel mania and nope they are not any wider just smoothed off the lip on the inside of the arch

Looks alright in these pics. Any from the front, further away?

Hopefully it doesn't look like those wide boy corsas from down the local burger establishment.

That's pretty good. I'm not usually a fan of big spacers, especially if it looks too obvious.
