Wantyed: Wheel Spacer recommendation for 2006 3.0si

I approve of that stretch on the front! :D

But that's worrying that a tyre fitter would send a car off with a setup different to how it came in.

Ok, here are the photos as promised:

As you can see the front tyre is OUTSIDE the front wheel arch, whilst the Rears have been devoured.

Getting this sorted tomorrow.

But first, I need some advice........When the car was sent to have its tyres changed, it had the wheel alignment / tracking done also because I have just had some Eibach lowering springs and new front wishbones / bushes fitted.
My question is this. Since the tracking / alignment was carried out with the wheels like this, will it need to be re-done when the wheels / tyres are put the right way around?

Cheers for your support guys.

Many thanks to ALL the members on this forum for their valuable advice.

I must also thank the guys at A.G Tyre Services for sorting out my rubber and for not laughing ! : https://www.facebook.com/pages/AG-Servi ... 03?sk=info

and of course the people at NOTTINGHAM ALIGNMENT SERVICE LTD who made sure the tracking is spot on now that my wheels are on the correct axels http://www.yell.com/biz/nottingham-alig ... m-1600229/

I'm pleased to say that now, the Zed drives EXACTLY how it should (and them some!).

I'd def recommend these upgrades that i've just had fitted too: Feels like a new car. I'm dead happy
