Im looking at fitting wheel spacers to my CSL. It is on stock standard suspension. Ive read the threads in the post already on here - but i was wondering;
What is the maximum size i can put on 15mm, 20mm???
Also - can i put the same size on both front and rear or is it better to put different sizes on front and rear.
Any advice much appreciated.

Hi i use 15mm front and 10mm rear
in the USA they run 18mm F and 12mm R
You will need longer bolts and locking nuts.

you can get them from CA AUTOMOTIVE and he is on here and gives a discount to csl members :thumbs:

Thanks Mark. It always seems to be you that answers everyones questions on here!!! Sorry to keep troubling you for all this info - hate being a newbie - but i'm learning a lot already and ive only had the car one day!!
So - just to qualify - i could run 18mm on the front and 12mm on the rear and i would be fine?? Is it just US owners with this set up or do UK owners do the same. I was simply going to run 15mm front and rear - whats the benefit of wider at the front?? Is it to help with understeer??

You are no trouble Cslbecks we all were new owners at some time
I am just glad to help.

After all thats what the site is for asking questions :whistle:

The spacers help understeer, but they also make the wheels fill the arches better and make the car look wider.

I would onlt recomend 15mm F and 10mm R as the 15mm R might rub :thumbs:
