Spacing rear wheels

Ive got a set 20mm hubcentric wheel spacers & was thinking of putting them on the back to bring the rear wheels out abit?

But I was thinking if I don't compensate for the front & leave them as they are on the hub because they look & fit the arch well already on the front, Would this make the car feel like its nose diving or create understear with the track being abit wider ont the back than the front?

mate, if you already got them, let's try and let us know what is your feeling with them!  

Yeh ill try them but just wondering if its worth it or not before I do?

i think apart on the ring, it will change nothing at all, your car will just be meaner!!!

Hmmm ill give them a go

ive heard in the past that putting spacers on the rear improves handling .

Sweet ill get them on at weekend then & let you know

we used to run 32mm spacers a side at rear and 15mm on the front on my old track car and the handling was superb with next to no understeer

we experimented with spacers for a while and found that as a rule of thumb if you fitted say 20mm at rear then you need to fit 10mm to fronts, so half of what the rears use

Cheers Bob ill get some 10s for the fronts then

do you need longer wheel studs for this sort of thing? ive got 4mm front and wouldnt mind trying the rear with 8mm

Hubcentric spacers bolt on the hubstuds where your wheel sits then have there own studs built in to bolt your wheel on

Where's the best place to buy wheel spacers from?

superforma!!

I have 10mm spacers on the back of mine, only found out when I took my wheels off, nothing up front though -_-

I was always told spacers knacker your wheel bearing really quick?

Puts more load on the bearing but not a lot & we talking 10 to 32mm offset which not too extreme.
1.4bar boost & an aggressive driver puts a lot more load on them though :-)
