Wasso Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 What the hell is that metal object doing on your paintwork!! Quote
Steady Zeddy Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 *cough* spacers *cough* Nah - it'd never be strong enough to use as a spacer. Maybe an oil catch can - mounted on the rear with a string pull to the driver to get tailgaters off your ass. Group buy anyone? Quote
slimjim Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 What the hell is that metal object doing on your paintwork!! Just giving you something to look forward to for next weekend Thought I better do it BEFORE you get your hands on her!!! Sorry bud... Quote
slimjim Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 *cough* spacers *cough* Oh... and there ARE spacers on that! You should see it WITHOUT them on! but, as you say, not sure if they are wide enough. I will dig out the info on what size they are... Quote

I will dig out the info on what size they are... I did think there might be some on the rear, but the fronts must be really small ones...... Quote
Ekona Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 That would look better if the photo was zoomed in a bit so we could see what the writing said without having to squint! Fixed Quote
slimjim Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Spacers..... Here is how it looks now. Rear spacers are at least 25mm, but the fronts are more like 15mm! What size spacer take my wheels to the edge of legal limits? Quote
JetSet Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Rear spacers are at least 25mm, but the fronts are more like 15mm! What size spacer take my wheels to the edge of legal limits? At the front the most it'll take is about 22/23 mms without catching on the wheel arch and that's on a standard suspension setup with Rays. On the rear you can go much further, hmm, I've experimented with mine and I'd say that 26-28mms would be O.K, I tried 33mms and that looked a bit silly (and illegal) TBH . Pete Quote

Pete Might try sticking one of the rears on the front then... see how it looks. Im presuming spacers are pricey? Quote
Wasso Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Not the best example but 20mm on the front and 25mm on the rear. Quote
slimjim Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Not the best example but 20mm on the front and 25mm on the rear. I will have a closer look on Saturday Quote
ChrisS Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 20s all round. viewtopic.php?f=26&t=33410&start=0&hilit=spacers Quote
slimjim Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Cheers Chris.... I recon my rears can go fine on my fronts... Just need bigger on the rears.... Any idea where to get a pair from? How much they cost? I think I may be better off getting my wheels refurbd first! Quote
Wasso Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Not the best example but 20mm on the front and 25mm on the rear. I will have a closer look on Saturday Of course I paid £100 for the 4 spacers. (They were second hand) Quote
