Spacers :)

[Chrisjk]

Due to my RSi being a 172 rep there was a mahoosive gap between the edge of the tyre and the arch, so i stuck on some 25mm spacers that i got from ebay and they are great. The car feels a lot more planted on the road now and the front end looks mint :clap:

i need to buy some of these i reckon, how much they cost mate? post a pic of how it stands now?

 

[davebem]

Any pics? 25mm is quite a lot, I trust you have longer bolts?

He'd have to, the original bolts wouldnt even bite at 25mm.

Are they hubcentric ones?

 

[Chrisjk]

Ill get some pics tomorrow. They cost £46.50 with next day delivery, im not using longer bolts, they supply another 8 so the spacer bolts to the hub then the wheel to the spacer(hubcentric of course).

Looks like i got the last set for now.

 

[ChrisPearson]

i dont think its safe to use more than 8mm if there not hubcentric imo

 

[Chrisjk]

Looks about the right distance i think

 

[MT AUDIO]

looks spot on

 

[Renault_Boy01]

looks perfect IMO

 

[Chrisjk]

btw the back has 10mm on aswell due to the offset of the 182 wheels.

Very smart, your car looks great.

Up close... its in dire need of a full paint restore, theres lots of swirls but thats a job for warmer times.

Do you fit spacers to the front and rear or just rear? As there sold in pairs and not fours

 

[Chrisjk]

With those wheels i had 25mm on the front and 10mm on the rear, now with my F1's on i only use the fronts.

 

[ozzy19]

I have a 1.2 16v 2004, what would be a good size spacer for the front and rear as the wheels are quite set inwards and id like them to stick out a bit more. I have 172 alloys.

 

[Chrisjk]

5mm are fine for the rear for you, and 10mm for the front on std wings.

 

[ozzy19]

yea am on standard wings. Want to push the alloys out a bit more, dont want them too far out but I want the car to have a wider look to it because atm as standard the wheels look very inward set and makes the car look smaller and more box shaped if you get me lol

do these effect the turning circle??
