Style 78 with spacers pics
Re: Style 78 with spacers pics
15mm Rear Spacer, not sure I would risk a 20mm.
Re: Style 78 with spacers pics
Thanks Brian. Pretty rare colour you have there don't think I've seen one on the road.
Do you have any more from different angles and from the rear, just want to see how it fills out.
Mine is lowered so the tops of the wheels already sit a fair bit inside the arch. Hi have no rubbing with my other 9,5j rims which fill the arch fully.
Do you get any rubbing on yours as it is?

Re: Style 78 with spacers pics
I have a few photos before it was lowered, I'll try and get some for you tomorrow. I do not get any rubbing at all with the 15mm spacer. If you measure the distance between the tyre and the rear wing you should be able to see which spacer you can get away with.

I have 5mm spacers on the front of mine and 15mm on the rear and it sits pretty perfect on them. Car is lowered 30mm all round on eibachs. I don't get any rubbing either.

Re: Style 78 with spacers pics
Forgot to get pics today . g8jka, my rears do not sit a flush as yours with 15mm spacers on, makes me wonder if I do have 15mm on the car?
Re: Style 78 with spacers pics
Those do sit nicely.
Do you use the spacers with your other bigger wheels too?

Re: Style 78 with spacers pics
I use the 5mm ones on the rears when I have my summer wheels fitted. I have looked at squeezing some 8mm ones on the rears but they sit pretty nice with the 5mm ones. I would mind some coilovers so I could go a little lower.

Re: Style 78 with spacers pics
What width and offset are you summer wheels? My Beyern Multis are 9,5j (can't remember offset) and sit pretty flush but I reckon a 5mm spacer is worth a try as with the ride height as it is the tops are pushed ended the arch.
Too much time looking at the US cars in the internet gives me all sorts of OCD about details now!

Re: Style 78 with spacers pics
Which brand of spacers and bolts are you guys using?
Re: Style 78 with spacers pics
They are 8J front and 9J rears with an offset of 35 all round. They do sit pretty flush especially at the front but I just wanted to push the rears out a little more. With the 5mm spacer or effectively makes the offset on the rear more around the 30 mark which on a 9J wheel is about the most you can get away with unless you start stretching tyres.
My rear spacers are eibach although I am not sure what the fronts are just some cheaper universal things and the bolts I haven't got a clue. I nicked them all off gookah

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..
Re: Style 78 with spacers pics
is there enough meat on the hub spigots when using 5mm spacers ie. are they still hubcentric?

There is only a slight lip on the spigot that still protrudes through the spacer and the ones I have are just universal ones, not hubcentric as far as I know. I have never had any problems using them with either set of wheels or on the front or rear axle.Mugs wrote:is there enough meat on the hub spigots when using 5mm spacers ie. are they still hubcentric?

Re: Style 78 with spacers pics
I believe the spigots protrude 10mm, so there will still be a 5mm protrusion into the wheel.
The spigot really only serves as a centralising aid, as the bolts take the stress.
