When I had mine they recommended putting a little grease between the spacer snd hub when fitting as they can be a bugger to get off later down the line. Obviously Adam didn't have a problem.

I made sure both faces were spotlessly clean and then put the slinnest slither of copper grease on there.

Some say you need to get the four-wheel alignment redone when you put spacers on. Some say you don't. I did anyway, because it needed doing anyway.

I'll probably get that done as the old girl will be having a few quid spend on her at some point.
4 new tyres, discs and pads all round, partial respray and a detail.

My maths tells me that little lot is the wrong end of 5 grand. :(

Should be less than £5k, depending how much painting is needed. Front bumper should be around £300 (assuming that usual culprit is on the list).

I highly recommend Wheels In Motion for alignment. Get them to rebalance your wheels, too. They do a proper job, there.

Agree. Just put 22mm on mine and the difference is noticeable. It's had the geometry checked and no issues.

It looks like yours are a bit narrower.
