Are the spacers only used to increase the offset?

spacers are usually used to push the wheel out a bit, widening the track and decreasing the offset. in some cases you have to use them to clear the massive non standard brakes (eg. porsche cayenne 6pots) or if you are using very high offset wheels (eg. subaru wheels)

PS:that does look awesome! hope you get your car back on the road today :)

oh yeah, i was talking the wrong way around.

lower the number the further out from the centreline it sits?

he will have the spacers up for sale now, fit the r32 oz wheels very tidy and poke them out just before guards.. pm him.

Yes, very nice indeed. My car is done, no box for now looks like box is all good so far ..

Also finally did the Cupra R Lip as well, much easier whilst its on the hoist. Will take some snaps and post up this afternoon after Tommy comes by again to drop off my nuts hahahah..

no no, the lower the number the closer to centreline it sits. by adding spacer you lower the offset - ie. bringing the centre closer to the hub

this should help :) http://www.shining-wit.net/rick/bugg...els/offset.jpg

howeeeeeeeeever, Tommy with his R32 came here and we put his BBS CH Wheels on. Unfortunately he had 15mm spacers on rear + extended lugs. His extended lugs weren't useful without the spacers and the bbs's on .. So i had to give him my lugs from my car so my car is still on the hoist lol.

Got spares at home, so brought them in today.

So thanks to Jade Auto tommy's r32 now looks like this...

Nice pic...

Thanks for sorting everything out Pierre and also a big thanks to Damian (JadeAuto).

Darker wheels has definately set the car off. :banana::banana:

And yes I'll be dropping by again to swap over the lugs this arvo.

I'm also thinking of getting some orange pin stripes for the wheels from TMT, not sure.
What do you peeps think??

I think it'd look great

No, you can't put orange strips on the rims, they look awesome as is.

Dont do the orange, doesn't go with anything on the rest of the car and will just look odd imo. The car as is looks great!

Purchased Eibach Pro Kit and Bilstein B8's today....now the waiting game begins :D
