If you check the description it says it's 4 a 4 stud, I'd double check with the supplier if I were you

i cant see where it says 4 stud

The 4 x 100 in the title gives away that its 4 stud.

These are for the non sports I think

 

[Foxspeed]

they are not only wrong ones but to be honest look a bit cheap and nasty :thumbdown:

When you find the correct ones, the alluminium ones would be the better of the two.

Lighter, less unsprung weight.

what sort of price am i looking at for the 25mm spacers, around £100 for 2?

 

[henderson]

these are what most people go for if you want 25mm spacers

Does anyone run 30mm?

I know someone selling a set of 2x20 and 2x30. Will this look odd?!

i think it would look very odd mate,25's very nearly catch on the rear arches so 30's i imagine would do damage,added to that i've read running smaller spacers on the front cases understeer

Wrong way round buddy, running smaller spacers on the front causes over steer.... Either way it's not something to do.

I've got 25s on mine OP and i wouldn't go any wider, they just avoid catching.... :blink:

I tried running wider rear tyres and normal front tyres on an old car.... Didn't go well!
