What size spacers.............

[Smartbear]

You could just put black covers on, probably the cheapest and quickest way.

I have question regarding the spacers I assume the same set up would work with the 294 model alloys? would 12 or 15mm spacers also work if the car is lowered on eibach or H&R springs? Also some say adding spacers can mess with the other components of the car like wheel bearings etc., what is the experience of those here that have spacers?

I ran 15/12mm spacers on my 3.0si for a couple of years with no wheel bearing issues but it definitely made the car feel more twitchy, felt like it needed constant correction on motorways

Thanks Rob, worth bearing in mind as its purely the looks I'm after.............................. so is it worth it?

I had a 4 wheel geo set up a couple of times and it still drove better before the spacers

I put 18/10 on mine. Stock ride height and tire size. I've since removed the fronts due to a high speed vibration issue. And I'm happy now with just the rear 18s. The tire is only slightly outside of the body flair (2-3 mm) I like it. I thought I saw black and chrome lug bolts of various lengths on eBay. Search by thread and length.

Thanks. I'll look into it more thoroughly but I want to get a good feel for the car on it's new tyres first. More than one change at a time and you lose track of what's doing what.
