Spacers.. Yes or no..

Yes. 10mm front and 5mm rear with longer bolts will make a noticeable difference without any problems with rubbing.
Personally wouldn't, then you'd have to go 15mm on the front otherwise it'll look weird. Then you'll no doubt get rubbing issues.
I'm going to be going 20mm on the front and 5 or 10mm on the rear for mine (just need to measure the rear to make sure).
If I can get away with my normal bolts on 5mm, then ill probably go with that. (Is it safe to do that)
If I have to get extended bolts, then ill just go with 10mm, seeing as i've got to pay out for bolts anyway.
It'll certainly look a lot better spaced out.

Mark, get 10mm worth of washers on the back and see what you think. Obvs don't drive it, but visually, you'll know.
Yes get spacers
I've got a spare set of extended wheel bolts when I had 9.5mm spacers

I'd be buying extended polarised boltsI've got a spare set of extended wheel bolts when I had 9.5mm spacers

That's my next plan! Or a stud conversion and polarised nuts
It does shorten the life of wheel bearings, A very small difference though unless you're running stupidly wide spacers!
Something like 20% shorter span roughly.
Usually improves it as it widens the cars track and lowers the roll centre. It usually makes the vehicle more stable in a straight line and when under heavy breaking etc.
Most people won't notice the difference on a road going car, It seems to be mainly for aesthetics on here.
I've never driven a spaced car but am I right in thinking it must dull the turn in to a degree?
Does seem to mostly be done for looks, I like how mine drives so doubt ill ever do it.

Never had that feeling of dullness on all of the Clios I've owned, only benefits for a trackcar for me.
