I'm not convinced that spacers look good unless the suspension has also been lowered. In some ways it makes the gap between wheel and wheel arch look bigger and gives it an odd stance. I think when lowered it looks great though!

+1

But think the spacers look better then without.

For the price of eibach spacers you could be half way to buying a decent set of wheels with a lower offset and then you wouldn't need any spacers

Well done- looks good - I've been thinking of doing the very same to mine, which is on Eibach Pros - can I ask where you bought the Eibach spacers from and did you buy new longer wheel nuts from the same place too ? I presume you have no rubbing at the front ?

Offset?? Sorry, but I'm no petrol head....

I have 20-15mm Front-back spacer arrangement and originally thought no rubbing .
The road into Rothbury changed that on the 'Borders-Keilder Hoon'.
Slight rub on front........... nothing on the back.

Admittedly it was after........... 'landing'

I have 15mm spacers rear and 12mm front running 108s on my standard M sport suspension and I get slight rubbing on the fronts.

I have Eibach springs and the same spacer set up - I get a lot of rubbing on the front drivers side, and some on the passenger side. I obviously forgot to show you my gaffer tape

 

[Smurfalot]

Ok.. So lowering seems to be the next possible job..
This I know nothing about...
Suggestions? Given 1: the sport was apparently lower (10mm) if I'm right.. & 2: tho I like the look of marius's car, I don't want to go that way myself..

I heard you talking about the gaffer tape ...............I didn't want to look!
I am getting more rubbing on the nearside than offside :?

Hi Bing
May I ask you which Eibach spacers and springs you have on your Zed? I think you have 30 mm springs and 15mm front and 20 mm rear spacers. Right?
I plan this month to install Eibach pro kit B12 (to lower 30 mm). But I dont know the reference of the spacers to buy.
