Wheel Spacers

[vintageb3]

I have 18" R95 JCW wheels with the restrictor fitted.

I'm wondering what thickness of wheel spacer looks good on the MINI. I'm not wanting it to look like a "pimp my ride" corsa.

What is legal...and what is nice looking?

Any pics?

as long as the wheel dosent clear the arch i think (this is what a mate told me so im not even 50% sure on how true it is) but 5mm is a good compramise as it wont put any undue pressure on the blots or hubs form what lohen told me as thats what they have on their show car

This is what I remember as being legal whan I was 18...wondered if that was still the case...

5mm a side doesn't seem like much...but Lohen's advice is worth considering.

hi vintage i was thinking of putting spacers on any idea where to get them

I'm not convinced on wheel spacers ... they put extra pull/stress on the bolts etc, try this link below for

Hi minimad...

There's loads of places sell them...X30YES's link shows how you should measure what you need. This link is to a US company...if you don't like dealing Stateside...there's plenty UK companies that sell them
