What Wheel Spacers for GT Sport?

[wycombeant]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum so hope im posting in the correct place 

I have just bought a GT Sport.....pretty standard at the moment apart from lowered on Eibach Sportlines.

Can't afford wheels yet so was just going to space the standards for abit of stance til i get wheels at a later date.

With the drop what size spacers do i get? Also any particular make or ebay job?

Thanks in advance

Depends on the current ET of your standard wheels, assuming there stock probably ET 51?

H&R hubcentric spacers would be my recommendation 10mm for the front and 15mm for the rear

When I had my mk5 gt170 sport TDi I ran 15mm rear with 12mm front, on the 17" classix wheels, on eibach sportline springs.
It didn't catch, rub or cause any negative effects.
Wen I sold the car, 55,000 miles, they were still going strong. (Had the car from new)

Awesome, cheers mate 

12mm on the front sounds good....was originally thinking 20mm on the rear but is that too much?

Need to start a project thread to be honest

20mm is too much,  it'll catch the arches.

If you search though my bound thread post on my old car, I think there is a side shot so you can see how much space is/isn't left running the 15mm spacers

Hope it helps
