Title: Anyone running spacers?
Post by: Matthew. on November 15, 2010, 10:55:09 am

As above really, is anyone running spacers with their 18" Monza II's?

Would be interested to see what they look like....

I'm running 10mm spacers on my rear wheels

No pics though as I'm at work and can't get onto photobucket etc

I'm running 10mm on the rear. The picture doesn't really illustrate how much of a difference they make though.

I have 10mm hubcentric spacers on my Audi Splits on the rear axle Matt  :smiley:

Check my ride thread, there's a few pics in there. Few before and after too.

^ HTH mate  :happy2:

I purely got spacers because the SLine splits are a gorgeous design, but don't look huge. Coupled with that the rears sat very shy because of the offset and although my cars OEM + all over really, I wanted to push them out a bit so they sat more proudly. I got Bimmec 10mm Spacers from ebay - £55 delivered if I remember correctly - did the trick  :smiley:

If you want a more aggressive stance with your Monzas, are some well made reps in an 8J or 8.5J an option?
