Spacers question

[George197]

Will you get any rubbing if you use 20mm spacers (all round) with KW V1 lowered 30mm (front) and 35mm (back)? Assume standard 197 alloy wheels and tyre sizes.

Many thanks.

...i also have a question about spacers....is there any point in adding a little width to the track without lowering the suspension....I often look at may car and feel that the arches aren't quite 'full' of wheel?

At first it feels a little weird after driving with the normal track, but you soon get used to it. Certainly doesnt make the handling any worse. And it also looks better. DO IT!!

I know people have had previous experience with these with no problems, however i think its worth mentioning here, i was strongly advised by my tuning company to avoid going over 15mm due to wheel alignment and excessive wear on suspension and wheel bearing parts.
