Default 20mm too much?

Will 20mm spacers be to much for 195/45/16 wheels? Will they rub on the outer body arches or stick out too much?

thanks

depends if you have it lowered
if not, the back would be fine on 20mm spacers but the front might clip the arches when you are turning seeing as you have beefy tyres

hope that helps

ps, why do you want 20mm spacers?

yup... you should really aim for 40 profile tyres with you're going with 16's

with spacers (unless its to get the correct offset) you'll be making the problem even worse.

If you can find out the ofset of the wheels your putting on then we can tell you whether 20mm is too much or too little. 40mm will always be too much i reckon though
