Not sure i get the 12mm spacer on the front idea effectively giving a " square " set up ? i have the same 8,5j et 35 19inch on the front of my 89 & can't see any need to widen that .
Would look so much better imo if the spacers were removed

So if I remember correctly the 10 inch alloys on the rear bought the tires out by 12mm.
Now the fronts because of the offset would be the same distance to the arch as stock. How ever bringing the fronts out by 12mm matches the change to the rear to keep the same ratio / distance to the arch.
Does that make sense?

LOVE the colour. Wouldn't change mine but I'd be interested to know how much it costs to do.

In a mathematical sense maybe but not in a handling or aesthetical sense .
I like to think the M division know what they are doing & always have a wider track rear over front .
Have you no pics of the car without the front spacers ? Or have you driven it without them ?

I originally had the car with out the spacers on the fronts, they looked good, but I prefered the look with the spacers on. No pics unfortunately.mr wilks wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2017 10:40 am In a mathematical sense maybe but not in a handling or aesthetical sense .

Yeah thats a fair point, the idea of the spacers was ultimately to match the change of the rears to 'retain' the factory setup almost. By moving the fronts out in my mind from a mathmatical stand point it made sense to keep the 'ratio' the same almost?

If you like it that's all that matters , i just prefer the look of enhanced rear track over a narrower front but that's purely my own preferencesunnydays wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2017 10:45 amI originally had the car with out the spacers on the fronts, they looked good, but I prefered the look with the spacers on.

Fiery orange is just like the Valencia. In different light they have many different shades. All look great but I am biased

Promised myself a Valencia one when I change this one. They are drop-dead eye-poppingly gorgeous. Always find it in a car park too. Assuming you ever take it to one.
Not for the shy and retiring type though!
