Wheel Spacer Help Needed

[MadUsa1]

I'm looking to get some wheel spacers for my Clio 200 Cup.

Can someone tell me what thickness I need front and rear please?

I'd like the wheels to sit properly flush with the arches but obviously not stick out beyond them

Will I need longer wheel bolts?

If you have a good link of where to buy them that'd be great!

I would say to sit flush you want 25mm but this will look odd unless you're on coilovers.

I have 16mm on mine, lowered on eibach springs and looks just about right IMO.

Do you need longer wheel bolts for 16mm spacers?

Do you use 16mm on the front and rear?

Yep, you'll need longer wheel bolts, think the ones i got were 40mm long. I used 16mm front and rear, looks good

25mm will ruin your handling.

Can you buy the stud kits that they use on the cup racers?

25mm will ruin your handling.

Can't coment on track handling but as for normal to fast road use, I ran 25mm spacers all round for over 3 years with no problems or noticeable detrimental/negative effect on handling.

Made mine all wobbly in the bends lol, they lasted all of one week.

I never noticed any difference at all, but I was on HR springs and then coilovers so don't know what they would be like on standard setup.
