Best spacer size c6

I would like the wheels to come out a bit further to get a better stance. I don't want them to be poking out past the arches however. The car has 20" wheels and ceramics. Would 8mm all round give the desired effect ?
Any potential issues with the setup I have and spacers ?
Cheers
Steve

I've got 30mm drop i believe after installing H&R springs and I'd like to install some spacers too with my 20"s with ceramics and idea what's the max I can go without destroying my tyres?

Mines lowered 45mm and catches at the rear and on full lock at the front with no spacers, factory 20's

10mm all round on standard ride height 20" rims.
It will catch on the very odd occasion if the car has 3 or more people in it.

That is useful thanks. I have opted for 8mm. Hopefully will work and give the wider look I am hoping for.

resurrecting this thread
... any issues if I wanted to do just the rear end (mainly thinking from 4x4 point of view/differentials etc)?
Cheers.

Check how deep the lip on the hub is. If it's more than 8mm. You'll have issues with hubcebtric spacers. I'm trying 15mm and H&R springs. Will post later once fitted. Measuments say it should be fine.

I'm trying 15mm spacers as thats the smallest I can get to fit over the hub.

You can fit smaller than 15mm spacers as long as they don't have a hubcentric lip. I think the absolute ideal would be around 13mm rear and 10mm front. Depends on tyre choice also. I'm planning to fit my springs this week/weekend. Spacers are currently on though.

Any suggestions where to source spacers from (that fit C6 RS's)?
