Still looking at getting rear wheel spacers for the fez and I'm just wondering as the car is already lowered will the 20.5mm spacer be too big and cause the wheels to rub the arches? I'm not sure home much lower but I'm sure its more than 30mm

My car was lowered on spax springs when I bought it. Not sure by how much but it looks pretty low and the common drop for the spax springs for the st is 45mm.

Haven't got spacers but the offset of my alloys is et38 so if my understanding is right they sit 14.5mm further out each side then the standard alloy et52.5 offset.

Do get abit of rubbing if I hit a big bump or pothole at speed so need to do abit of work on the arches.

Sorry if that don't make sense. Here what they look like though if u wanna know how yours might sit.

That's really helpful. Cheers mate

you'll be fine. mines on eibachs and i've got 20.5mm spacers

Yer think I might have to amend what I said cos having thought about it abit more it's the front end I get rubbing from. Sorry mate.

your fronts rub?

mines lowered 60mm on the front and i havent got rubbing on the fronts, the rear is lowered about 50-55mm with 12.5mm axle spacers and it never rubs

Yer they only just kiss the inside lip on the arch when I hit a big bump. Think that's cos the front wheels sit wider cos of the offset where in most cases ppl only fit rear spacers so the front tyres still miss the arches.

Does that make sense?

are you on springs? my coilovers are rock solid, and my pro race wheels are a huge offset

Yer on springs. Mine feels pretty hard but bet it ain't got nothing on yours! Bit weird why mine r rubbing though. It's ok with normal driving or even driving flat out until I hit a harsh bump.

Don't help that the roads round my way r shocking! Thinking I need to claim road tax back seeing as their clearly not doing anything with it!

excuse the dirt but this shows how wide the rear wheels are



and this one shows the fronts



the roads round here are impossible its almost dangerous to drive on them!

I'm sorry Dan, that dirt cannot be excused I'm afraid.

That was just before I cleaned it, and that was only 5 days of driving, you should see it now, I hasn't been cleaned in about 5 weeks!

i've noticed my rear number plate gets quite dirty now lol

Hah, tell me about it. I've not had the willing to clean mine yet, its been too cold and suchlike. Mine's probably about as bad as that but as its blue you don't see it as much

thats not to bad then lol. though i'd better clean mine before someone found a reason to pull me over lol
