Rear Spacers

[miket]

Just fitted 25mm FD rear spacers, the wheel really fills the arch, but I'm not sure, anyone else got these?

Have you fitted anything to the front? I have 15mm all round on my GS which is as far as I'm happy to go.

15mm here as well. 25 looks a tad OTT, in my opinion only.

Looks good from that angle.....

25mm must put a lot of extra strain on the hubs due to the extra fulcrum effect.

Back of a *** packet: 4500N at 25mm I think comes in at 112N. So the equivalent of just over 10kg. Unless my decimals have gone awry

(There are some large assumptions, though)

Since you have asked, looks a tad too full? Maybe better at 15mm?

My FD rims are 'full' like that, without spacers.
Personally would prefer a little less aggressive.
What I have bought to be fitted shortly is a roll of 3M armourfend tape to protect the wheel arch lip from stones picked up from the wheels.

To be honest I thought that they looked a bit extreme but the car feels much more "planted" so much so I think I need to add +15mm minimum to the front?

Sounds like 15 is the way to go listening to others.
