Spacers

Hi all,
Anyone put spacers on without changing wheels or lowering the car?

Does it look naff?

Standard advice is 10mm front and 12 rear IIRC - should be OK with standard profile tyres with no rubbing etc.

Alternatively I went with 5mm spacer all round and put on 295 tyres - moves the outer face out by 10mm, leaves the inside where it was.

Both will improve the stance, the latter will also improve the grip (if you use PS4S)

I’ve got 15mm on the back with 285 MPS4s. No rubbing at all.
Had 15mm on the fronts too but had some slight rubbing over harsh ground. As Dave said, 10mm is about perfect.

I had 15mm spacers on the rear with 40mm lowering springs and it didn't rub so standard ride height will be fine.
