Chesterfield Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I take it you went 20mm front and 25mm rear Quote

jackmidd Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 looks really good, whats needed to do this? Quote
Jakedd Posted August 7, 2012 Author Posted August 7, 2012 Just 20 and 25 mm hub centric spacers. Bolt straight on Quote
FUG Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 do you notice any difference in how the car handles once spacers are on?? Also do you have an overall picture of the back of the car showing both sides with spacers? Quote
Jakedd Posted August 8, 2012 Author Posted August 8, 2012 There is a limitless imbalance around 80-100 but I do need to get the wheel alignment done. So that'll hopefully solve that. No pics yet, will have some after the southwest show on Sunday : ) will upload after Quote
Jakedd Posted August 8, 2012 Author Posted August 8, 2012 Meant to say little not limitless! Stupid auto correct! A side pic... Freshly clay'd and aqua waxed : ) 1 Quote

AliveBoy Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Anyone else rolling arches when they fit 25mm spacers on the rear? My tyres were so close to the lip I was a tad concerned. Quote
richmillions Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 I have 25mm on the rear and no issues, no need to adjust arches. Quote
AliveBoy Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 This is my before and after, I know the lip wasn't massively close, but it was enough to be concerning if I hit a pothole by accident. 1 Quote
Tomb24 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Well one year on, and now I too am on a mission to do this to my 350 with stock suspension and Rays wheels. Great to see a before and after before hand, thanks!! Quote
Asad Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Looks nice. Are these the type 2 spacers which come bolts to mount onto the hub and use existing wheel nuts to mount the alloy wheels? Edited July 8, 2014 by asad Quote
