I ran 20mm on the rear with a little scrubbing, swapped to 15mm and it was perfect.

That was with a 7.5 et51 with a 225/40 uniroyal rainsport.

Picture with the 15mm (only one i had)

Sorry to thread jack - I'm looking into spacers etc, I understand hubcentric ones are best but are there any immediate negative effects?

Wheel bearings can go a little faster apparently.

Got 15s ready to go on the rear. 10mm seem to be really expensive anybody ran 15mm spacers on the front with pescaras ?
