KyleR Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Why do you want spacers? Looks perfect in the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilo Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Why do you want spacers? Looks perfect in the photo. the alloys sit slightly inward of the wheel arches .its not much and you cant really see in the pics but i have seen other 350s with the wheels sat wider and think it looks better .the rears arnt to bad tbf ...its the fronts the bug me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that pic you posted I think you're talking a matter of millimetres to make it "perfect", I personally wouldn't bother as it looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
