Title: Spacers.
Post by: Ash_SteadyEddy on October 20, 2013, 01:26:03 pm

Im looking for more of an aggresive stance on my eddy. Whats peoples recommendations on problem free wheel spacer size? Im lowered on eibach sportline springs with pescara wheels.

Ive read 15mm on rears and 10mm on front is a good start, but I'm not sure if that is ok on a lowered car?

Any input would be a huge help guys.  :happy2:

I ran that set up for a couple of years, the only thing I'd say is go 12mm on the back. I would get occasional rubbing with passengers in the rear when I had the 15mm spacers. Fronts are fine at 10mm  :smiley:

Cheers pal.

I might just go 15mm and make passengers walk!!!  :signLOL:

One other question regarding spacers and longer bolts. Would it be radius bolts I would need? I cant get my head round the difference.

Thanks again.
