wheel spacers?

cslsuperfan · 02-02-2011, 12:42 AM

looking to put wheel spacers on my csl. the car is running oem suspension, csl alloys with cups 235/35 & 265/30. I am not sure of the best width of spacer/brand to fit/supplier to purchase from. It's purely for the wider look!!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Eibach hub-centric, 12mm all round.

Simpson MS sorted me with mine

KW's new range of black anodised 15mm all round for me

Stops all the rusting or tarnishing appearance as they get wet / older

Supposedly aids turn in a bit, TBH not noticed, but it DOES look more aggressive also

I was recommended these: http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/fra...725&PID=613035

Seem to have good reviews and seem a reasonable price?

It will help low speed turn-in if you widen the fronts only - makes no difference if you also space the rears by the same amount...

Exactly !! Didn't notice when I had 10mm front nothing rear, 12mm front - 10mm rear , 15mm front 10 rear , just about easy combo did not notice any real world difference, might of been due to the fact I was V3 then clubsport/race kit, then two different sets of springs on the clubsport kit and god knows how many different settings I've tried !!

To harsh for the road anyway now, but good on track , just a fooker I use it everyday

It's what I have ( @ the front only) to clear the BREMBOs

and as an added bonus it has dialled out some unwanted under steer

when used in conjunction with the O.E. CSL 8.5J 19s fronts
