United-Kingdom F.s. Wheel Spacers

Alloy Wheel spacers for sale. Two Sizes available each size available as a pair.

First Set is 15mm which have been used but are in good condition. £20 + P+P

Second Set is 8mm which are brand new and have not been used. £25 + P+P

Widening the front track of the MINI is regarded as a simple mod to increase the turn in capability.

Please note that you will need to purchase either longer Wheel Bolts or have a Stud Conversion set up.

PM if you need pictures.

Hi

What size wheels/suspension were you using to need 8 and 15 mm spacers??

Im looking for 5mm spacers but may be into the 8mm depends on how the tyres would sit against the arch. Im running 215/40/17 with eibach coilovers need the extra room to drop the front right down



Peace Out

Hi

I was using Std Suspension / Brakes with ' S ' Lites & 205 / 45 / 17 with the 15mm spacers. Changed to H-Sport lowering springs and 18" Wheels with 215 / 35 / 18 Tyres when I upgraded to BBK. The 8mm spacers would not provide sufficient clearance for the wheel / Brake combo. Have gone to 10mm which with my set-up is about the limit.

Cheers

15mm, do they make that much of a visual difference to the car! And does the cornering improve ?? theyre just for front wheels! and do i need longer bolts?

Hi

You can tell by looking at the car with them on that there is a visual difference when comparing to standard. They appeared to give a difference when conering at speed around roundabouts!! As per the original post you will need longer bolts or a stud conversion.
