running C with 15mm spacers (hubcentric)

[sciroccotune 0]

I have read that hubcentric are the best type of spacers, so with this in mind would it be ok to stick 15mm spacers onto my front wheels to fill the arches a bit more. my wheel et is 35 and its all std height.

you **should** be ok then TBH with a 15mm spacer on a 7" wheel and et35mm

thats cool, thanks!

 

Ill have a look whats the best ET for a C and try and get my wheels to that. the front wheels just sit in a bit to far...

I run BBS 17" and had to get the front edge of the arches flared out when fitting my 15mm spacers to allow my brembos to be fitted.

Arent you wheels 7 1/2" wide though making them an extra 12.7mm wider to start with.

cant remember if this is true or not (Darren, feel free to shoot this down ;)) but the C is wider at the back than the front therefore to maintain handling balance the rears should be the same amount wider at the rears....e.g. 15mm+

Other way round, track is narrower at the rear.

I think you have pleanty of room for an extra 15mm with your wheel and tire combo
