Wheel Spacers Edition 30
« on: March 23, 2016, 10:57:22 am »
Hi all,

Wanting to know what the largest spacer is which I can run on the front wheels of my Edition 30. It has the standard Pescara alloys but is lowered on the H&R Springs.

The car is driven hard from time to time and i dont want it to rub/scrape at all from hard cornering. Ive searched the forum and cant seem to find a definitive answer.

What size spacers are people running with the same/similar setup to mine? Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks  :happy2:

I'm running 15mm on stock suspension and the wheels sits exactly flush with the arch and catches sometimes when I hit a deep hole fast. So I'm guessing you wouldn't be able to go that wide. Probably doesn't help you but just my 2 pence.

Thanks for your response dude, appreciate it  :happy2:

Im thinking 8mm, 10mm or 12mm (absolute max) to avoid any rubbing but cant seem to find any solid answers as to which one i can squeeze in there to give the widest stance possible :fighting2:

Hopefully someone will be able to confirm or feedback their findings  :smiley:

Id go 10mm all round. Better looks and no real chance of scrubbing.
I'm spaced 10mm all round all the way down on Ap coilovers with no problems  :happy2:

Was you lowered and did it rub with passengers or under hard cornering?
