How wide looks right?

[NX-STEP]

I want to fill the arches out a little more. What size spacers for front and back so that it sits flush or just inside the wheel arch?

 

[smac4494]

25mm for standard et

30mm won't poke out but will spray ground water all over the side of your car

 

[Jekyll]

For the oem look I'd be going 20mm fronts,10mm rears.

Wheel spacers for the fronts, hub spacers fro the rears.

25mm looks too much in my opinion where as 20mm has a small tuck giving it the oem look.

Nice1. That's what I was thinking but needed an experienced opinion.

Have a look in this thread as I posted some pics of how mine sits on the above spacer sizes.

I looked and that motor got my juices flowing. The wheels sit just right but I have a mark 2 not a mark 1, will this make a difference?

 

[Jekyll]

No, it'll sit pretty much the same barring the height.

Thanks for the sexual comment

This is mine with same wheels as yours

Fronts - 25mm hub centric spacers with -1degree camber

Rears - 15mm hub spacers

Nice. Do you get any rubbing when turning? has it been lowered or is that the factorynsuspension? I read that theres -1 camber on the rear wheels already.
You said hub spacer for back wheels is that different to a hubcentric spacer? How long have you had them all on for? had any problems like bearings wearing out quicker or like I said before -any rubbing?

No rubbing when turning.

It's lowered on Cooksport springs, so about 30mm.

There is about -1 as standard on rear

Hub spacer goes behind the hub onto the rear beam, much safer than wheel spacers.

I've ran 25mm spacers on the front on all of my Clios for the last 6/7 years, never been a problem. Rear hub spacers cannot effect anything as the same load is still on the bearing.

Thanks for the advice. Your motors mint.

Cheers, it's far from it but better than most!

Just getting through tidying it up now!

Where did you get the 15mm axle spacers? And what brand of hubcentric spacer do you use?

 

[DannyR]

It's actually got 10mm rear hub spacers from a lad on here and some 5mm wheel spacers I had laying around.

Fronts are Delta Mics, they're steel so a little heavier but fine for all kinds of use.

 

[Timmsy]

I'd have to disagree with @Dr Jekyll
25mm up front looks fine, nice and wide but not out of the arches
Yet to put my 10mm rears on but I think i'll have to do what @DannyR has done

 

[Jekyll]

We shall agree to disagree!

 

[NX-STEP]

UPDATE; I purchased a set of 25mm hubcentric delta mics upfront, bolted em' on myself (very easy) and it looks just right!
10mm rear axle spacers are going on tomorrow. Will see how that looks on mine before purchasing a 5mm spacer like DannyR suggested.
I'll upload pictures once its cleaned. Thanks for all the input and advice.

Where you get these spacers from?

 

[DannyR]

I recently found out I actually have 15mm spacers with 5mm wheels spacers on the rear so 20mm total rear!

Front?

I just wonder how they got it so wrong from the factory! 20mm wheel spacers are never good, for anything!

[barnesautos]

20mm front
10mm block hub spacers Rear
Just right imo

 

[jamesycc]

I've just fitted 25mm fronts and 10mm rear. Tried 15's on the rear but its lowered so had a bit of tyre rub. Haven't got any pics thought as its dark now.

 

[DannyR]

Lowered on what?

I've got 20mm on 16's with cook sports and no rubbing ever.

 

[barnesautos]

I've 1deg camber shims on the rear also . Not had any rubbing as the kick is inwards at the top .

Lowered on eibach sport lines and running Toyo r888's.

 

[DannyR]

What offset wheels? Strange that it's rubbing?

To be honest I've no idea. Just the standard cup Turini's. Fitted some 10mm ones now so all sorted.

 

[Jekyll]

Standard cup turini's are ET38

I thought you had tens fitted and rubbing with 15's?

 

[jamesycc]

I thought you had tens fitted and rubbing with 15's?

Yeah that's right. Tried 25's and 15's both gave me tyre rub so settled on 10's rear and 25's front.
