help on what spacers etc

[StealthClio]

im looking to push my wheels out a bit just to fill the arches better, nothing stupidly spaced, but i know NOTHING about spacers. what is the ideal size? do i need new wheel bolts? do they fit easily? do i get the same size for both front and back?
an example pic of my car so the more experienced amoungst you can guess the best size of spacer.

thanks!

i would get FK or those ones above. new bolts should come in the kit, youll need hubscentric spacers, and youll probably want different sizes for the rear and for the front.

easiest way to know is measure the gap bud

Im running 20mm front and 6mm rear suites me just lovely

Edit : i have eibach hubcentric ones front only

bit useless though ^^^

thats a ph1 sport and he has a ph2 non sport, wheel arches are different sizes and he probably has different size wheels.
only way to tell is to measure

I agree measure to be precise , trial and error i suppose , whatever takes your fancy

On my ph2 non sport, had 20mm FK hubcentrics (bolt to hub type) front
and 15mm FK hubcentrics (with extended bolts) on the rear

i am right in thinking 12/13mm is the smallest size they can machine hubscentrics in yeah ? anything under that its just normal spacers

Hello I have 25mm hubcentric spacers front and back on my dci with the same wheels as you, I have some photos at the bottom of my project thread if you want to take a look, to give you an idea http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?603711-Clio-dci-80

Also depends on if it's lowered/going to be lowered. I went with 15mm eibach all round, and lowered on Bilsteins.

Pics are here;

I'd also be interested to know what spacers people with standard 182 cup wheels have gone for on a 182 cup/packed car.
