Default Wheel Spacers

last night i fitted my prodrive front end from scoobyspares (thanks) to my wagon and i love it but now the wings are flared i have to replace the arch liners to fit and the wheels are looking a little lost.

Looking to use wheel spacers to shift them out a bit, but im wondering what spacers are safe to use with the original bolts or is it better to use hubcentric spacers with extended bolt and most importantly what size have you guys used ?

cheers guys

Normal spacers are a bad idea, hubcentric seem to be the answer maybe

They're like the japspeed ones on the thread . They bolt to the hub , then the wheel bolts to them .. They are out of stock at the min though and mine are sold. CDF racing do them to order ? waiting time though plus expensive ..

As states hub centric are the ones to go for. Funny enough I was talking to chris at CDF about his spacers the other day. Personally these are the ones I would go for, a proper English made, engineered product. Especially over the type that come from china in a crate of a 1000. Give cdf a shout mate

Little bit of a price difference with eibach bein 102 quid and the CDF ones are 141

Quality vs price !

I have never had some eibach ones in my hand, but i'm sure they are good.
All I can do is price ours up on what the material,studs and nuts cost us to buy in - i'm sure if we made our in bulk we could bring the price down .

I can say that ours are hard anodized like any other brands though.

these are also made by us http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/perfor...cers-pair-20mm
