I'm looking into whether it's worth installing wheel spacers on my standard Monza II's.
My initial thought is that this would increase my track at the axles and handling as a consequence.
I already have the car lowered so I would run the risk of scrubbing the arches, and secondly I think it would be illegal to have the tyres exposed outside of the arches... :rolleye:
Has anyone had any experience of this...are the benefits noticeably?
Cheers,

They are are good mod for the money.

Room wise, I reckon you can safely do 15mm all round on your Monzas with no scrubbing/poke. Get hubcentric ones too, any others you'll be cursing.

You need to measure the length of the spigot first as they can vary a bit from car to car.

....Hmmm - No significant handling improvements imo. Anti-roll bars would be a much better spend of money.
On the Mk5 GTI I reckon people just do it for looks.
