Spacers

[Juke]

Hi!

I have Eibach Pro-Kit with 261's M and I want to buy spacers.
I though about in front of 10mm and 5mm at the rear. Is it too less?!
Help me
Any pictures??

Long time I have this question.Why put a spacer ? for the rubering ?

[SV Concepts III]

The factory wheels are inset from the fenders so spacers will push them out to make them flush with the fender. It's to make the wheel look more aggressive without having to change the wheel for the proper offset.

no rubing for me.

why spacers? more aggressive look! the difference its insane!!


10mm H&R spacers in front.

what other benefits do spacers provide other than looks?

Pros: Slightly wider track
Cons: Added mass at critical location, additional stress on bearings/suspension

I would run spacers for cosmetic purposes only, not performance.

Do you have more pics?

Question, with the wheel spaced out more like that are you worried about any more road rash on your side skirts/quarter panel? Seems like it would definitely throw more mud/dirt/rocks straight onto the side of the car

That's goog question!
I really want to minimize that.
That's why I asked my question...
Is in front of 10mm and 5mm at the rear the great balance?!
