i have spaced my rear wheels 20mm so 10 on each side really fills the archs nicely with no rubbing, iv got team dynamics 1.2's 195/45/15 :y:

20mm is a hell of alot to space wheels that are the correct fitment. Yours are slightly out by 3mm but I wouldnt go putting 20mm on as your gunna rip your arches off. Maybe if you get some 165/45or165/50 tyres the stretch might get away with it but then you need the right wheels, not Pro race 1.2's

If you're thinking of spacers, don't go for the ones which simply fit between the wheel and the hub using longer bolts.

You want to go for hubcentric ones: these bolt onto the wheel hub, and then you bolt the wheel onto the spacer. If that makes sense. These type of spacers (in Saco fitment) will have 8 holes, and should come with 4 bolts each to bolt them onto the hub.

I hope this helps :)

I'm running pro race 1.2's 15" by 7" width with 195/45/15 tyres on my standard furio (1.4 with VT kit fitted as standard), disks on the front, drums on the back. The car apart from these wheels is completely standard, no spacers etc, and I get no rubbing/ scrubbing or anything whatsoever, even with steering on full lock. I'm not going to use spacers, but if I was going to, I wouldnt go more than 10mm hubcentric (see above in my post if you don't know what this means)

Hope this helps :y:

I'm using 25mm Hubcentric Spacers each side on my VTS wheels. Pics on my progress thread somewhere :y:
