If you buy flat spacers (No lip) you'll be ok. You could go maybe 8mm safely as you'll still have some lip protruding on the hub. Other wise it's 15mm or more. Maybe 13mm at a min but thats an odd size. If you have a large you could machine them down. 15mm sits ok on mine. Maybe a little wider than I'd like.

So the car was lowered on coilovers around a week ago and seems to have set nicely. I may take the front down a tiny bit more.

I want to get a set of spacers to fill the arches a little better.

I measured the front needing 10mm max and the rears at 8mm max.

To play it a little safe im thinking of ordering 8mm for the fronts and 6mm for the rears?

Does this sound about right to those who have a similar set up?

I've attached a few pics of the arches (it's hard to show the correct angle) and the drop.

Also, just to double check the bore is 57.1mm and PCD is 5x112?

Any guidance is much appreciated 👍

Well my experience so far is that with 275/35/20 and 10mm spacers you would very rarely catch.

Now that I have 255/40/20 it catches more often, I will fo for 5mm spacers for my winter tyres

I had 10mm rear and 8mm front and took them off (standard ride height). The sidewall was rubbing the arch liner in the rear with people/gear in the boot and the front would constantly catch the arch liner screw over bumps even on my own.
