Show me your wheel spacer setup!

[inkey$]

Looking to add spacers to my 2.2 on 16” wheels.
Would love to see photos of anyone thats added front, rear or both spacers to their car with mm recomendations.
I want flushness, so are we talking 15mm rear and 10mm front?

15 rear is good. You don’t need that much in the front.
My 2.2 has 15mm rear and I think 3mm front. It’s been on 16 and 17’s

That looks ideal. Which spacers did you use? There’s a lot of choice!

Just measured from the tyre wall to arch edge. Looking directly down, the fronts look like 3mm could work well, but the rears have a lot of space to come out. Maybe 20mm on the rear could work (with room to spare) - unless I’m missing something.

No idea, the car had them on when I bought it.

15mm rear, nothing at front.

Looks much better than stock. Any shots from behind the car showing the wheel positions in relation to the arch?

Yip..not the best pic but you get the idea. On those wheels 20mm just looked too much

Subtle…we like subtle

Was just getting new track and tie rod ends fitted so took the opportunity to ask the garage to bung on the new rear wheel spacers that have sat in my boot for months. Went for 15mm rear only in the end..a subtle improvement over stock I think. Spacers are PCD hubcentrics…made in...

Handy link Think the 20mm are the way forward.

That’s what most people have and 10mm at the front

Do the 10mm fronts sit flush with the edge of the arch? My measurement photo above shows it leaving the arch after around 4mm.

Not sure I left mine as is..I think it depends what style alloys you have.

This is a better view of mine. 15mm rear and 3mm front with staggered 17inch wheels.

Really useful. Many thanks

No pics atm but on my 2.2 with staggered style 78s I'm running 20mm on the rear nothing on the front.
