#1: rear wheel spacers? Author: benbmx08, Location: newquayPosted: Tue Mar 29, 2011 1:37 pm ---- anyone got or seen wheel spacers on the rear of a GTi? its just a thought as i have SP arches and wheels look like they could do with comming out 10mm.
#2: Re: rear wheel spacers? Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2011 1:39 pm ---- just get any hubscentric wheel spacer will do.
spacer are not specific for front or rear
#3: Re: rear wheel spacers? Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Tue Mar 29, 2011 1:43 pm ---- Running 20mm hubcentric spacers on my XSi which has the same beam as the GTi purely because of the wheels wanting to be flush with the arch and also due to the stance.

So I'd suggest 15mm or less. And as above hubcentric!

Running 20mm with 406 Nimrods so the wheels are sitting at ET-2 all round and I've not even got an inch of rubbing and I've got the car lowered temporarily at 50mm. But I'm running 4o profile tyres.

I said depending how low your car is lowered and I did not state how low mine was.
Also I'm sure the ET and/or tyre width is different between the 206 16" nimrod to the 406 16" nimrod.

you sure yours is a 206?
even standard 206 might rub at that situation lol
Well last time it was. Im running 195/40 conti tyres on mine so I've got tiny side walls but had a single problem, there's still plenty off gap between the lip of the arch even with the spacers and my tyres and I've got SP arches fitted to it.
Width of the Nimrods are 6.5J and the offset if ET18 on the 16" 406 variants.
