Biggest wheel spacers you'd trust / wide track info?

[Wests Renault]

Need to get the front wheel spaced out on our DCI rep badly!

Thinking I really need 25-30mm but not too sure if this is too much?

Did consider doing the widetrack conversion but not sure which parts I need and if it possible to use shafts, wishbones etc etc from a sport?

Please discuss

wouldnt want longer bolt type at that size, but the type that bolt to the hub first would be reet

What i'l say is dont do cheap, Eibach, H&R are your best bets, reckon demon thieves will have them in or possible one of the traders on here.

I used 25mm Delta mic ones on my 172 track car. HAd no problems at all.

(They bolt to the hub then the wheel bolts to the spacer.)

Theres some cheap ones in the for sale section if you go quickly! lol.

adam got in there before me but they are for a mk3 so won't they be different?

I don't know why, but i'm sure I was the one that sold them to him!! lol.

They came off my old ph1 172!

You took them off before you sold it and made me sad

vemommotorsport are pretty competative for fk spacers.
70mm front and 40mm rear (system b) with some neg camber will look ace on the rep....

Do the widetrack IMO.

Wheels will still be lost with just 25mm spacers on.
Would be a lot more costly, but definitely worth it.

sorry but tbh i would try and do the whoe widetrack tbh spacers wont be anuff imo. and there from a low spec mk3 so should be the same as a mk2 iirc ? could be tottaly wrong though

originally planned just unbolting the subframe from the 172 and bolting it to the DCI, but the guys at work have never done anything like before

first thing they have doubted is the steering rack as the dci is electric and 172 belt driven......

other benefit of widetrack conversion is the brakes get upgraded too, the ones on the DCI are shite!!
