what are the downside of wheel spacers and are there any that come with less downsides?

Eibach do a good line - TUV approved doncha know!

Depends on how big you want them! Whatever you do make sure they're hubcentric.

I ran some 15/20mm spacers (can't remember exact size) with no problems whatsoever for over 20K miles.

Hubcentric sit directly onto the hub and leave you a hub to mount the wheel on, "normal" spacers don't do either and if you go too wide (say over 10mm) the wheel doesn't sit on the hub so all the cars weight sits on the wheel bolts/studs.... which isn't ideal.

steveb thanx

at the moment i got the spacers that just fall of when you take the wheels of.. i.e. not bolted on to the hubs, just plonked on

i got H&R Hubcentric spacers on mine fooking ace quality really good and they bolt to the hub the best kind imo

not the cheapest but cant beat the quality
