you deffo need a thin spacer on the front off a 2wd , 4x4 you dont need

you do not need longer wheels studs

When i took my 7 spoke diamond cut alloys off of my 2wd sapphire cosworth for the first time,i was suprised to find 3mm spacers on the front.
Even with the spacers on the caliper was very close,and would touch the caliper if spacers were not used.

yep 2wd`s need front spacers 100% i found out the funny way 5 years ago now just had tyres fitted for the wheels in a tyreland place, we put the wheels on and then i got in it to move it to the ramp so the tracking could be done and the car wouldnt move

Where would be the best/cheapest/easiest place to buy spacers? I might try putting some on my front, 'cos I've got contact between tyre and Koni shock platform (is on Super T's not RS7s).

you can get em at any motor store no more than a £10er

Yep 4x4s straight on, 2wds spacers, 3 drs spacers too (especially to fill rear arches use 20mm spacers)

i think i used 3mm spacers and also spacered the back slightly as i looked silly having the front wheels sticking out more than the rears on a rwd car lol.

ive only just fucking noticed who you are how come you didnt ask jason as those black wheels are DC rs7spokes and will have spacers at the front.......
