Rudymanz Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 do you know if you can get a camber kit off the shelf for my car? Also, what do you mean nervous (sorry if i 'should' know this ) Overall the spacers count as a additional 15mm spacer on the front and a 20mm spacer on the rear when comparing them to the normal stock wheels, as the normal alloy offset is 12 and my wheels are 42 , s am i right in thinking that i 'shoudlnt' have a problem? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudymanz Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Got the spacers now and here are the bad boys : I got around to fitting the rears today, will fit the fronts tomorrow as Ill be replacing the discs and pads for performance ones at the same time. Heres the before and after pictures, let me know what you think: NO SPACERS: 25MM SPACERS: 50M SPACERS: More comparison pics: NO SPACERS: 50MM SPACERS: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alnug Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 That looks really good! ...but can i ask a technical question....would the wheel bearings suffer more wear with spacers this size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudymanz Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 That looks really good! ...but can i ask a technical question....would the wheel bearings suffer more wear with spacers this size? probably, but im not too fussed because i doubt it would be that bad. I dont drive the car a lot anyway, probably around 3k a year so I dont see it as a big issue Thanks aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Looks very good ..... I shouldn't think you would have any issues with the bearings since their position is the same... Or have you fitted a longer hub as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudymanz Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 just the hubcentric spacers mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
