[Mk2] [Turbo] Wheel spacer advise

[gnzyza]

morning all,

I i got standard wheel, suspension om my rev3 can i put spacers on it to give it a wider track. if so what size and type are best

[nakamura]

I had 20 mill on mine. But the was with 7.5j wheels with 45 offset. Would imagine a 15 might be enough. BTW handling improved 1000%.

so you reckon 15 would be okay, would need to get alignment done again?
cheers

No i was told allignment would be ok but a suspension specialist. I think 15 might be ok. 20 would be right out to the arch. Id prob go 20. But im not sure on stock, rears are 7j right?

Why don't you just measure the distance fron the wheel to the arch (inside lip) & that'll give you the max size of spacer you can use with your current wheel set up... takes all the guess work out of the equation for 2 mins of your time.

hey dude 20mm front and 25mm rear are bang on perfect for flush fitment, make sure u get hubcentric spacers. i had a set of 20mm on the front of mine and it looked the nuts, also if u go any lower than 20mm u will hav 2 cut the studs down about 3mm due to them hittin the wheel causing the whel 2 sit on the wonk
heres a pic of the front fitted with 20mm they sit bang on perfect


cheers
