Alright Folks,

Thinking of getting some Hubcentric Wheel Spacers from Virdee on here.

Looking to go down the 10mm rear & 8mm fronts, I was wondering if anyone had some photos of their car with this set up, just so I can get a jist of what it'll look like.

I'm currently running Vreds Wintrac Extreme 255 /35 /19 in the winter and the same size of Michelin Pilot Sports in the summer, the car also has SS Suspension +

So, I was also wondering if anyone also runs this set up and has any issues with rubbing, either front or rear, my car is never fully loaded with people, just the 5 year old daughter now and again and the Mrs if she's been good!!

Photos much appreciated!

Cheers in advance

I can upload some before and after photos later tonight. I had no rubbing problems with standard (non SS+) suspension and I'd doubt anybody that does has any trouble either.

That would be magic Mike!!!

Cheers

I had (at the time) 8mm front and 10mm rear with standard (non SS+) suspension on OEM wheels and standard sized Eagle F1s.

Before:






After:

Love that wheel colour Mike - is that anthracite?

Gonna go for this combo of spacers when I get rid of the slight vibration I've got at 60-80mph.

Yes it is. They actually look lighter in the photos than they do in real life though.

Rears with 255s and 10mm spcers, lowered around 20mm.

No rubbing, however...when I fitted the new Eagle F1s Ass2 I got massive amounts of rubbing to raised springs and removed spacers.

You may recall when I had my wheels refurbed, that I experienced the problems of rubbing with the new tyres fitted. more in this thread http://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... anium+park

I'm running 8mm front and rear but with 275/30/19's. I had to remove the front top guard liner screw and have only rubbed once on the rear when 4 people in car and full boot after hitting a dip at highway speed. With 255 tyres you should be perfect

That exact setup is in full here - http://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=94643

Excellent!!!!

Cheers for the rapid response lads, I'll be ordering them from Virdee tomorrow!!!

Looks the business!!

Adrian, it's odd how much further out your rear wheels seem to stick out than mine. Are the michelins quite wide (in comparison to other 255s)? Even though yours as the lower suspension mine seem to be a lot further in.

I'm running standard suspension with 8mm front and 10mm rears spacers and with 255/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres.

No rubbing at all.

Glad the boys have made you make up your mind!

Look forward to your order

the Michelin's have a very square shoulder, the Conti's are much more radiused

in my sig I have 4 x 8 mm and H&R springs, imo just about the perfect look
