Spacers

phat///M3 · 02-10-2009, 09:52 PM

Hi Guys,

I need to get atleast some 10mm spacers for the front CSL wheels to clear my Brembo BBK.

So I was thinking to go 10mm all round, or 12mm front and 10mm rear.

What do you guys suggest as some say to go 15mm front and 12mm rear, is this too agressive?

Also what brand spacers do you go for and why? H&R, Eibach, Rogue Engineering, etc?

I'm running 10mm only and works fine .. On the fronts.. Give Thorney a bell as they do spacers...

Ive got 15 on the fronts and 10 on the rear, h&r's come complete with longer bolts but i once bought an eibach set which didnt, which is useless.

Thanks guys, anyone have issues with the hubcentric lip breaking off, cant remember properly but think someone told me about this with Eibach spacers a while back, which surprised me as they are a good company.

yep, i had one lip fail on me a while back but my current sets of 12mm have not been a problem and been on for about 30k miles

Shimmy,

Could you please advise what your current set is?

I have 10mm on the front, but from different manufacturers?? and none on the rear.

Hence I would like to add the same all round.

I also assume that 10mm spacers on the rear do not give any clearance issues with the arches?

max i have had is 12mm all round with no problems

havent tried 15mm

for things to work properly or at least better on turn in i would say 12-15mm on front is all you need but for aesthetics the back does look better 10-12mm out as well

I needed 10mm on the front to clear my BBK, and then added 10mm on the rears just to tidy it up.
