Spacer help please!

[Chapppers11]

Need to get some spacers ordered soon and was wondering what I would need for a flush fitment. Never bought spacers before so am a complete n00b and don't want to buy twice!

The car :

I have had a suggestion on which spacers I will need and will probably going down lower on stretched tyres in the summer, any suggestions will be appreciated, including where to get them from!

Thanks, Andy

Measure the gap between the side of the tyre and the arch lip, thats the size spacer you want.

Probably 10/15mm on the back and 20/25mm on the front

If it was me, I'd be going for 20mm at the front and 15 mm at the back.

Make sure you buy some proper Hubcentric ones as well with good quality bolts.

(Are you still in Bristol? I might have a spare 20mm one you can try... )

Don't buy anything but hubcentric ones.

Either do what Dan say's or take the wheel off and put washers on till it's right ,then measure the thickness of the washers and that's the spacer you need.

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated, will probably be going for 20mm on the front and 15mm on the back as suggested and Dan you have a PM :approve:

Silly question but will 20mm spacers be 20mm per side or 10mm each side?

Think it depends mate, I'm sure fk measures the total track change, ie they quote 60mm which is 30mm either side, whereas H&R quote the individual spacer size.
