i wouldn jump on the band wagon yet mate. i really dont think you need them. get them coilovers off and back on propily. then see whats what.

might be worth you puting your orginal wheels back on to get it set up propily first then you'll know if your wheels are to blame then

i dont have the original wheels :( the wheels offset should all be fine as when i got them i got them car specific with the correct spigot rings and everything . thing is the guy i got the suspension off had to use spacers on his front to stop rubbing with the suspension components ! so .. :S

get some 5mm universals,all ive got on mine and no wheel wobble as the hub sticks out enough for you to be able to stop any wheel wobble

alot of people have to use 5mm spacers on the front to stop it rubbing on the hub. when i had fk's on my 1.2 it was mega tight but i just got away with it not needing any spacers.

^^^ looking this way with mine tbh . only problem is , you space the wheels out and they then get closer to the arch ! and there aint much room there either ha ha

exactly that kinda thing and this is mine height wise so you be the judge

so if i get down halfords tomorrow and can pick these spacers up if needed , then just got to line them up central and stick the old bolts back in . how about the centre bore ? would you of thought it would be to big or too small ? .

the spacers arent the correct bore,just make sure you put them on centrally then put the wheel on whilst holding it in place,then tighten the wheel bolts ensuring its a dead centre fit,the wheel wont have any wobble as itll still be central as its on the hub still

did it today myself,just hang the spacer on the hub,put the wheel on the hub and put one bolt in through the wheel and spacer and then thatll hold the wheel,then put another bolt in ensuring spacer is straight

duh , yeh sounds easy enough . thankyou for all your advise , i feel quite clued up on it now . its quite urgent i get my car running etc tomorrow as im going away to england with the mrs on the weekend and tomorrows my last day off so its a day of fixing the car . and you know what the forecast is lol ......RAIN :)
 
they shouldnt cause wheel wobble as long as the centre bore of the wheel still sit's over, i had 5mm spacers on my ibiza cupra from Halfords, didnt give me any wheel wobble.
