Default Filling 22B arches!

Hi Guys,

Looking for a bit of assistance in filling my 22B's arches (when it FINALLY arrives from Japan...)

Have been reading up a bit and getting a lot of conflicting opinions.....

Basically I would see the "quick-fix" to be using spacers to fill the arches a bit better but this will put extra strain on the wheel bearings I believe so am not sur if I want to do too much damage.

Secondly, I am told it can really ruin the handling etc. of the car??? Depending on offset etc.....

Has anyone on here used spacers on their Scoobs & how did it react?

Any opinions/assistance much appreciated!

Cheers
Chris

wheel spacers and smaller offset wheels both put the same strain on wheel bearings.

et35 offset wheels help fill the arches but will not stuff them compleatly.
