Wheel Spacers on a 172?

[ch!ppen]

Sorry for all my noob question's lately people. I knew plenty about Saxo's but know next to nothing about RS Clio's

Right, i've ordered some K-Tec coilover's for my ph2 172. I've heard some people have trouble regard's catching once lowered. I'll be going down about 40mm, 50mm max(!)... And i've also read some people have used wheel spacers.
Is this necessary? I'm guessing it could give the car a better stance, which would be nice. But are they needed to stop anything catching?

Thanks in advance.

i lowered mine 40mm and had no problems with catching.

That's good then! I don't want to go cutting arch lining's away and that. Absolutely hate seeing cut arch lining's lol.

ive got ktec coils. Down about 40. And hard cornering does catch slightly. Ive gone through the arch lining bubble underneath.

But love it!

my cars lowered 80mm, and i got 25mm spacers all round with cup turini's on, if it catches get your hammer out, loads of nasty tags in arches that are unessential
