Wheel spacers

[rexs]

What is max and safe size spacers to fit over std wheel studs?
Also how much does the spoon springs lower the car?

I had 15mm hubcentric spacers on the oem rims and standard studs and had no problems. Have since changed to a different set of rims.
I'm on b14 coilovers so cant help ya with the info you need on the Spoon springs

for non bolt on spacers i would say 3mm max although you might get away with 5mm depending on the wheel style.

the rule of thumb is you should have 1.5 x the thread diameter of engagement for the nut , so 1.5 x 12 =18mm the nut should engage with the stud 18mm minimum

Increase that front camber. You ideally want more or at least the same up front

15mm Hubcentric spacers from eibach (used on 90% of my cars and always bought new) on OEM wheels. Just the right amount of width IMO

Yeah going to get it redone when car back on the road. Want it raised slightly and more camber on it with the new wheels.

Sounds good mate. Don't push the rear camber too much more than what you got now, chuck more on the front. Should be good to go
