*Now Fitted*: 12 and 15mm spacers (I think)

kash330D · 03-22-2019, 09:32 AM

Anyone got 10mm spacers for the fronts and 15mm for the rears?

I think this is what I want. Want the flush look but font want to run the risk of any rubbing at all.

I have 18" MV3's

Ended up ordered 12 and 15mm spacers. About to go have them fitted!

Post up some pics before and after if you can, I'm also looking to use spacers with my MV3's and would be interested to see how your looks afterwards.

Just got back from fitting them. Only took a pick of the rear wheel - will take better pics later.

Before

After

Only drove about a mile but havent noticed any rubbing yet.

So - there is the very slightly rubbing over larger bumps and dips from the rear, with a passenger in the rear. Dont know if to live with it or swap out for 12mm on the rear too?

Or get the wheel rear wheel arches rolled. That's what I did (I have 15s all round). In fact there is only a small portion of the arch lip that needs rolling to avoid any rubbing.

How much effort and cost is associated with doing this?

Either you DIY it and buy an arch roller, or pay someone to do it. Not very pricey as I recall (it was several years ago)...

Just messaged a local chap - lets see how much it is. CBA to diy and dont have the tools or skills on cars!

It is a really small lip to roll, shame you're not more local to me I have an arch roller, takes 10 mins to jack up, take wheels off and roll the smallest amount

I literally just had the work done. 15 minutes per wheel - £50 to do. Sod it - tool was £30sih but don't have the patience and would have taken me twice as long.

Hopefully it wont rub anymore.

I used 'arch attach'.. the guy was sound.

Coupla pics of the front would be great🙂.
