Spacers fitted.

Post by mjwebb48 » Tue Mar 15, 2016 7:54 pm

Got home from work early so thought I'd do something useful!
12mm front and 15 rear.

Got kW adj Spring kit in the garage but actually quite happy with the stance.

Perfect size for anyone looking at it.

Looks good, but any reason why the 3mm difference front to rear? Did you do some measurements to calculate they would be the ideal size?

What was recommended and to be fair it's spot on. Big old rear arches on them!!

Rob, mine looks like it has more clearance on the rear wheels than the front, same as the B7. It is a bit harder to tell on mine as the front is lower but I think it looked like there was more space on the rear before I lowered it.

24mm on the front and 30mm on the rear axle is a lot :shock:

More space there than I thought. Will this not cause the tyres to scrub out quicker?

Oooh that does look good! Any different feel driving? I was thinking 12 all round but 15 at the back seems to work well.

I think he bought them from another member on here. But Revolution or Virdee are good for the right type of fitments.

Pretty sure Virdee did me a quote a couple of months ago. He even checked he could get them in black to match the wheels I was looking at. Maybe he tried ordering since and they couldn't get them. You tried Glenn at Revolution?
