Wheel Spacers- few basic questions
 
Hi All

I am considering getting spacers for front and rear for my CSL.

I have searched the previous posts in relation to various options and to understand more, from what I can see the common spacers are 10, 12 and 15mm. I am no expert so apologies in advance!

I have KW V3 on my CSL with AP BBK all round - I want to add the spacers to give a more aggresive stance but I dont want to risk any tyre meeting wheel arch issues when the suspension compresses. I assume that with spacers fitted I have to be careful on the ride height settings- is there an optimum ride height to ensure no issues or is it a try it and see and increase if any rubbing is noticed? Or any other suspension settings that may require adjustment?

I would appreciate any guidance on this before I hand over my hard earned and any recommended UK suppliers I can order from?

I am also fitting new tyres next week and having the tracking done- will adding spacers mean I have to get the geo done again?

Cheers
Nick:)
