Wheel spacers........eBay?

Post by chriscollie » Thu Jun 12, 2014 7:28 pm

Has anyone bought wheel spacers off eBay? Or am I best to go to Virdee?

With std wheels and suspension setup, what widths can I get away with front and rear? 8mm front and 10mm rear are the most popular.....?

10 and 10 for me, no rubbing at any time even with a full car and roof box, I went with MTM as I was paranoid about maxing it out with anything cheap. Virdee should be be fine though?

Avoid EBay and go to Virdee as it will save you the hassle I had as I went EBay first, spacers cracked and lips sheared off when the wheels were removed. Went to Virdee now got H&R's fitted and no trouble since. Lesson learnt.

So 10mm (2x10mm = 20mm wider track) is the way to go? Front and rear?

Fitted 10mm spacers all round today. Looks great. No rubbing. I have the 20'' OE wheels with 275/35....

Looks good. Fills the arches nicely. :D
