Spacers with cup racer wheels...?

Lowered? Pics!

Mine are on now with the kw's and it looks pretty smart, could do with a spacer at the rear anyway as perhaps a small one at front.

Sorry to go off topic but the cup racer wheels ok to use on road in terms of bending them? I heard they're weaker?

I'd be surprised if they were weaker. They're definitely heavier and they going smashing into the curbs every lap which would suggest they're stronger.

Despite them being marked/recorded as magnesium wheels the magnesium content must be so minute as to make no difference and the sheer amount of metal in the wheels themselves only add up to them being pretty bloody strong.

Though as mentioned it means they're sadly also quite heavy, I loved how they looked on mine but they didn't do much for the car in terms of performance.

Ok thanks for letting me know

That's gorgeous. Is it running 20mm spacers even on the front that low?!

The cup racers use 5mm spacers at the front but I'm not sure if the hub is different

I believe the reason they have the small spacer on the front of the cup racers is for clearance on the strut if they go low.

They have a coilover so when wound down can run close to the spring collers.

The hubs are exactly the same as standard road car set up, the only differences on the front set up are the lower arms, no rubber bushes, all rose jointed, the anti rotation links are slightly longer as are the steering rack ends (longer).

HTH.
