Wheel Spacers - Advice

cslbecks · 19-10-2008, 04:59 PM

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

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

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
