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:

i used to have 15mm on front and 20mm on back

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