Wheel spacers
Wheel spacers
Hi
I’ve added spacers to my standard wheels, with the standard tyres....
The car is lowered on bilstein suspension from what I can tell.... a bit too low in my opinion...... now I’ve added the spacers the tyres rub in the arches....
Can i raise the ride height of the suspension?? Is this an easy/inexpensive task?? the wheels look really good I don’t want to lose the spacers.
Many thanks

Fronts a doddle
Rears are a bit more awkward expect skin loss
I assume you fitted 10mm spacers ?
If so drop to 8mm problem solved

I’m surprised you can move the car with 20mmMrRSB7 wrote:20 mm all round
I doubt anyone uses that size
8mm is the desired size

Re: Wheel spacers
That’s what they recommended in the garage where they powder coated the wheels

Re: Wheel spacers
Either they meant 20mm per axle ie 10mm per side or they have no idea.
Re: Wheel spacers

Re: Wheel spacers
Yeah..wasn’t planning on it but couldn’t resist. . Showing above so Op can see that Bils PSS9’s and 8mm’s work ok albeit not sure what drop I’ve got.

Re: Wheel spacers
This don’t look looks 20mm spacers to be honest. Perhaps it’s 20mm per axle? Where did you buy the spacers?

Re: Wheel spacers
Yes maybe your right...... the garage did supply and fit, he mentioned 20mm .... I assumed it was 20 each
Looking at the spacer , it’s no way near 20 mm ♂️

Re: Wheel spacers
Why not just remove your spacers, less hassle.
Personally I don't get spacers unless you really need them due to aftermarket wheels.
