So, I would suggest you getting 2 H&R hubcentric spacers at 5mm, a 5mm spacer for each side. They're 50 bucks a pair on h&r's website (hrsprings.com). The ones on ebay seem ghetto to me. I don't think you'll even have to get longer bolts for the 5mm spacers. probably just stick em in. I think wider than 5 might be a little much. Mine looks perfect w/ 40 offset and 10 mm spacer. Slightly aggressive, but not over the top



thats exactly what i want too - are you sure the 5mm would be enough beacuse it seems such a small spacer but you have more experience so i guessing ill go for it. you think 10mm would be far too much right?

i've just got off the phone to a guy that specialises in spacers over here and he advises not to go for the 5 mm as it is not very good and says to go for the 10mm hub-centric spacers - and of course get new bolts. would this stick the wheels out too much or would it look alright?

cheers

Well, i dont think the 10 would be way too much. after all, think about how much difference there is between 5 and 10 mm. That's like half your pinky nail. So it shouldn't be a big deal to use 10. might even look better. if you want it to be significant, go w/ 10. The 5 will make little difference.

so i might just go with the 10mm then - it won't stick out too much would it as it would then effectively make the wheel an ET25

I like the way mine looks, and 5 mm (a quarter of an inch) won't make much difference. It will look great w/ a 10mm spacer. Def an improvement.

okay, i've finally decided- going to go for the AMG rear bumper and sideskirts with a carlsson lip front spoiler for a little bit more of an aggressive look. Do you guys think this will flow?

Any thoughts and comments much appreciated
