I'm running 15mm back & 10mm front spacers on OEM monza shadows and lowered 30mm on H&R springs with no problems. Think thats about the limit. HTH :happy2:

IMO 15mm is perfect, almost come flush with the arch think 20mm is too much :happy2:

Out of interest, are they 18x7.5J or 18x8J Freddy?

I have recently fitted some wheel spacers, 10mm fronts & 12mm rears, its been dropped by 30mm on H&R springs looks mm perfect, 2adults in the back though and it will rub!!! A lowered car 10mm all round ideal ( i did try to get these but out of stock), if you dont intend lowering the car then you be ok 12mm rears but bear in mind the bigger you go the more pressure you put on the wheel bearings. "The wheel man" on this forum supplied mine with bolts excellent quality :happy2:

Cheers Freddy  :happy2:

Based on your experience GOLDENBOY, should I be okay with a 30mm drop on 18x8's, no spacers?
I've currently on 20mm AP springs with 18x8s and I can have 4 passengers with no issues. It's simply that with cosmetics in mind, I'd like to drop the rear another 10mm or so.

Hi mate, doing the maths you should be ok with that, but every car is different, you dont get the exact same drop car to car if that makes sense, im running monzas, pescaras alloys 18x7.5J, 30mm drop,12mm rear spacers tiny rub, 10mm spacers would of been perfect thats how tight the margin is. :happy2:
