Wheel spacers

[GuernseyGooner]

Hello,

After having my R53 lowered, my R112 alloys look tucked into the arches so was thinking of filling out the gap with spacers. At the moment there is about 18mm between the tyre and the outside edge of the arch which looks visually worse up front.

Do I use the same all round or make the front track wider, say 12mm on the fronts and 5mm on the rears? Also, are they safe?

Thanks for help

15 or 12 mm front and 5 mm rear is perfectly okay and perfectly safe if you buy some quality ones (like hubcentric H&R).

I have 15 mm front and 5 mm rear because of JCW BBK & R109 summer / R98 winter combo (spacers are needed only in the front, 15 mm for R98, 7 mm would do for R109).
Remember to have longer lugs - standard length is 28 mm, so 43 mm for 15 mm spacers or 33 mm for 5 mm spacers.
