Which wheel spacers are best?

[Simon 3.2M]

I want to fit a set of 15mm spacers on the rear and 10mm on the front. What are the best type, make to fit? Thanks in advance.

I run H&R's on mine, 10mm all round, been really happy with them. Just make sure you get some copper slip on the backs so they don't seize themselves on there.

Eibach do some as well I think, they are all much of a muchness albeit make sure whatever you get they are hubcentric.

Perhaps a silly question: is there a "technical" advantage in fitting spacers or is it purely for aesthetics?

I’ve read a few cases where the 10mm eibach spacers have cracked. The H&R are supposedly better at this size and I think all the 12mm are supposed to be fine.

I've had Turner Motorsport 12.5mm spacers for several years now including a few trackdays and plenty of quick mountain driving and I'm very happy with them.

My experience, I had 12.5mm on the front but they rubbed so i moved them to the back where they are perfect. I had tried the 15mm on the back but they were bordering on silly so removed and sold them.

On the front, i tried non hubcentric 5mms... Not worth it so i removed them.

I think you might get away with 10mm on the front without rubbing. I am yet to try this, but do know they must be hubcentric (i.e. like the Mrs, have a lip on 'em :roll: - Love her tho') to avoid judder.

P.S. if anyone wants the 5mm, you can have them for beer money.

For the record im with 12.5mm all around. The fronts rub only on certain tires, my Yokohama AD08 in 235/40/18 rubbed a bit. And the 235/45/18 Michelin Supersports I have now rub a lot but it's only on certain spots which have "self cleared" now

The rears didnt rub with 255/40/18 Yokohama AD08 but they rub a bit with 265/40/18 Michelin Supersports but nothing much really so it doesn't bother me.

Another nice feature of the Turner Motorsport ones is they have a small tab that you can use to easily remove them with a flat screwdriver if you're frequently changing spacers. Quite convenient.
