wheel spacer advice

[Spanky-197]

am looking to get some wheel spacers what size would people recommend and any pictures would be appreciated?

also any recommendations on where to get some?

i fink H&R 25mm spacers are what some people use on here, where to get them from i do not know

Think these are the right ones http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=3884398

Check Jase's posts of his car he has 25mm spacers with his black wheels, and Adrian has 25mm spacers and his car is not lowered so you can see the difference.

Yep they are th right ones.
Not a bad pice them either.
Also try performancealloys.
I got mine from a local place that I knew supplied and fitted H&R stuff.
Saved on postage getting them that way.

cheers but i cant seem to find any of these pics you are talking about, only newer ones?

 

[jase]

Have you tried the search function.
I once posted a pic of mine with spacers next to another albi without.

If you can't find it I repost it tomorrow.

 

[Spanky-197]

cheers

next to a standard 197.

Nice comparison Jase...

I have these on my "future mod list" and thats just sold them to me! Really beefs up the looks of the wheels.

I saw a 200 recently and the rear looked "pinched" as a result

 

[mikey197]

Thats quite a difference, if I do decide to keep the 197 think ill have to buy these.

handling > looks

 

[Spanky-197]

cheers defiantly gonna get them now looks cool

 

[jaxx]

handling > looks

On that note...

Can anyone comment on how (if at all) they degrade the handling please?

 

[jase]

cant say ive noticed that it has made any negative changes to the handling since fitting, i dont track mine though.

 

[Arun]

the amazing thing with this car is that you can easily lift off oversteer and adjust its trajectory while taking tight curves only with the acceleration pedal

when increasing the track width the car will become too stable - the back won't slide out anymore as easily - you will go wide

for normal driving and straight line pedal to the metal you won't notice any change though

Like I've said XY times before - my handling even got better with the Eibach & 17mm spacers combination compared to stock.

At first I had Eibach springs and then I've got a 17mm spacers, and I could notice the difference - a turn that I used to do @ 55km/h I could do 60km/h now. :thumbup:

 

[jaxx]

I suppose it depends on different people and how they like their car to perform

will not put too much stress on the bearings ?

 

[jase]

Mine have been on for a couple of years with no problems.
