Cooksports and spacers

[Bear Head]

Had a really good look but can't find anything specific. I've got a 55 plate 182 full fat on cooksports and it's the nuts but it really needs some spacers looks like it's crying out for some.

What do I do? I can't do with rubbing it's not a daily but it's my fun car so is used most days and only does a few miles but don't want rubbing.

I want the wheels to sit on the arches and was wondering what to buy I.e how big and where from? I'm sure hubcentric are supposed to be best so I presume them?

Your wheels are a different offset to mine I think but this is my 172 on cooksports. 25mm spacers on the front and 15mm on the rear.

Only rubbing I had was the inner arch. If you look in my project thread I've removed part of it, took all of 5 minutes with a stanley knife.

That looks s**t hot wow that is absolutely what I'm after ill have a look through mate thanks a lot!

If someone finds out the offset of 182 wheels I can work out what spacers you'll need for the same fit.

I also get rubbing if I've got people in the back when going over speedbumps or round a bend. But only if they are fairly weighty and I've got virtually a full tank of fuel LOL.

Haha! How can I find out the measurements mate because if you'd be willing to work that out I'd be eternally grateful haha honestly your car looks the muts nuts

I had 25mm fronts, 10mm rears and had no rubbing on the rear.

Hint: saying which one was yours would make working it out easier

although I know it's the one on F1's. Are they a different offset again to normal alyum's?

Lol you're wrong. It's the one in shot, the ph2.

Only photo on my iPad I had!

b*****d. For some reason I assumed you were dmallet. Didn't bother to actually read the username! How much camber are you running at the front? Mine doesn't look like that.

It was a 1.5 ish. I modified the standard 172 Cup shocks.

No spacers :rasp:
although on my standard alloys it'll be 25 front 10 rear
