They don't fully illustrate the difference they make though. I only have 10mm spacers at the rear at the moment but next week I'm moving them to the front and fitting the 16mm spacers on the rear. I think it needs it personally.

But from what I heard hubcentric spacers are the way to go (the non hubcentric ones will vibrate at high speeds at least that is what I heard from 2 people).
Am have recently bought 10mm hubcentric ones form H&R and next week I will see how they behave on the track (fingers crossed).

LE: Hubcentric spacers are minimum 8mm (this is more or less the physical limit) but usually 10mm (20mm per axle) or bigger.

Title: Re: Wheel spacers
Post by: rex on April 19, 2011, 09:44:08 pm: They are H&R 2055571A . I recommend this over 2055571B because 2055571A will fit both front or back while 2055571B only fits the back.
For more information regarding the H&R spacers visit: http://www.trakplus.com/
I got them form a local Romanian Dealer so I think that the link is irrelevant :drinking:
Here is a UK dealer (I am not sure if this dealer is ok or the prices are ok, but this is the one I found): http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/frame-manranges.asp?code=34
