Lowered on coilovers &OEM wheels-What spacers you running?

[slowmonkey]

I have been running 20” wheels for a while now and have just gone back to the OEM’s for a while, they need spacing but I’m not sure what my options are running at the ride height I have, I think on standard suspension people run 8mm front and 10mm back, but want to make sure I have no rubbing where it’s currently sitting.

So looking for some advice from people who run spacers on OEM wheels but running on lowered coilovers.

How it currently looks.

8's & 10's on mine with KW V3's pal. Very slight rubbing when fully loaded and pushing on but its not serious. That's with p zero rossos, i know some other tyres have a squarer shoulder and rub more.

JPH - Is that with the OEM 255 or often fitted 275 tyres fitted ?

Hi Sam jph has my mates old car,he's running the standard tyre's, next time I'm in Sussex you can have a look at mine again and go out in it to see what you think of the kws I'm about Wednesday evening as I'm picking my car up from refined detail

Not the best pic, as you know I'm running 275.30.19

Thanks Silas, it would be interesting to see the ride difference between the two. I know you're busy this week so it can fit in with the PH meet at MB world later on in the month.

As above depends on the trye shoulder. I had new Eagle F1s fitted, with spacers and KWs, so had to remove the spacers and also I raised the coilovers up by 5mm.

Thanks for the replies, I think I might get a pair of 8's and put them on the rear for a while and see how I go with them, then if all ok, I can switch them to the fronts and get the 10's for the rears..............

Any recommendation for hubcentric 8mm spacers and bolts ?
