Correct size spacers?

[Fluxuk05]

I brought these

a few weeks ago, never got round to getting the correct spacers for them so currently i have cheapo 3mm's on but they still rub on the inside of the arch if a corner is taken aggressivly.

So my question is what size should i get considering my car is a Mk2Ph1 T reg with I THINK an offset of 38? Also if the spacer are 10mm which i think are the best ones to get will it matter if they're not hubcentric as those cost a bomb. (i think the wheels are et45???)

Thanks!

if you wanna be safe buy hubcentric ones!

You want a set of these off Russ.

Just been PMing him, excellent price as well - just need to make sure 10mm are the best/right size to get, basically can anyone confirm my cars offset is 38 and the 172ff alloys are 45??? and if so will the 10mm's do the job?

Depends what you're trying to achieve. Best to send Russ a PM and ask him. He'll help you out!

id say 10mm spacers all round, both front and back. Jamie has 15mm and it just niggles a little, so 10mm will be perfect, as i said in PM, i would fit 4 not just two.

For both looks and handling.

anybody had any experience with spacers on only the rears? can it cause problems?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yes! it depends on existing wheel offset

 

[Fluxuk05]

confused! what will that mean for my car?

 

[Fred@BTM]

no more than 5mm all round on them IMO

what suspension do you have?

 

[Fluxuk05]

standard atm, wouldnt mind to possibility of lowering in the future 40mm. So would having spacers only on the rear cause problems?

 

[Fred@BTM]

na would be fine, don't forget to use longer bolts

 

[Fluxuk05]

Thank god, couldnt afford it anyways!

SO

5mm?
10mm?
15mm?

15 is too much, 10mm is the smallest hubcentric size you can get btw, 3s and 5s are only sandwich plates.

10mm will be fine, ive sold a few sets to non RS owners on here.
