Wheel spacers for edition 30

Hi
Just purchased a stunning candy white edition 30
I am looking at getting the wheels refurbished in shadow chrome
I also want to fit wheel spacers to the car as well
I am after a more stance to the car nothing to much
What size spacers ( front and rear ) do most go for
I'm after a decent set and where's the best place to purchase
The car is lowered 30mm on H&R springs
Many thanks
Tim

If you're on standard offset, 7.5J ET51 then, 12mm front and 15mm rear, H&R would be my choice of quality brand. Not sure where the best place to buy is though

Don't forget you'll need longer wheel bolts as well.

Standard bolts for OEM wheels are M14 x 1.5, 28mm thread length, radius seat.
Just add the spacer width to the thread length.

15mm on the rear looks like it will be flush with the arch
Will this catch with it going lowered
I agree will look fantastic though
Has anyone got a pic of 15mm rear spacers fitted

I have 15mm on the rear of my ed30 with pescaras and can confirm it sits flush with the arch. Perfect imo.
Such a difference from running no spacers

As people have said, 10/12mm front and 15mm rear looks pretty much perfect.

My 2p, I put 15mm spacers on the rear of my last ed and the pescaras rubbed over some bumps eventually rubbing through a tiny amount on the paint and liner. Mad me cringe every time it caught. On my current one I went with 12mm and not a hint of rub but still looks more stanced. On the previous car I had all the alignment checked etc so I don't know why some get away with it and I didn't. The car was wearing GY Eagles standard 225/18's.
So I'm 12mm all round now. NQSBBK on front.

You may struggle to fit 10mm spacers on the rear, depending on brand, because of the depth of the rear hub lip.
