Back on the spacer issue...
 
anyone running spacers notice if the bodywork picks up more stone chips?

This does worry me somewhat.

I'm too old (and stingy) to fit hooge wheels that will break my fragile skeleton +++

now, carry on with your spacer discussion. :D

Can we be nobodys together?


"anyone running spacers notice if the bodywork picks up more stone chips?

Hmmm maybe look out on the lower bumper, what about people behind will it flick a lot of sh1t at them too?

These 20mm beauties came through the post today :)

I went with the H&R Trak+ hub centric spacers in the end. It will allow for the original wheel bolts to be used which is a bonus. The kit seems really high quality from first impressions and much better than others i've seen.

Just need to get my locking wheel nut adapter back from Ben and these should hopefully pop on nicely. :cool:

I have a pair of H&R PCD changers at 25mm. Quality kit.

Where's the best place to pick these up? Fancy a set all round if it's not too expensive..

Richard!! I sent you a message on facebook for a guy that wanted to swap with a set of wheels from your D3!

Must have managed to delete it when I had a clearout of the inbox.. can you resend?

Singh 31st August 2010 08:28 PM

Sorry Richard, I posted that from work whilst trying to do a hundred things at once and thought you wanted alloys not spacers, doh!
