Wheel spacers?
Right, I’ve just swapped my eliosoids for mv4’s and they look lost! The elipsoids filled the arches width wise perfectly but the mv4’s are further in! I thought they had the same offset so i’m A bit baffled. Anyway, that’s how it is so I need to space them out. What sort of size shims am I looking at? I was thinking 5mm should do it and the standard bolts will be fine?

Good video that, thanks. Taking my probably flakey measurements into account I have ordered 12mm hub centrics for the front and rear.I think I've er'd on the side of caution because these wheels seem to make the wheel arch gap larger than before which seems odd given I've gone from 18" to 19" so I can see the need for some slightly lower springs. need to do my homework on them because I definitely don't want them stiffer than OEM!

Well, 12mm seems perfect to me. It's made all the difference to how the wheels look. To be honest I wasn't sure about them before but now they look great.https://s19.postimg.cc/fuv5zxzgz/IMG_1876_4.jpg
