Default wheel spacers for classic

Hi all

wanted to get hold of some hubcentric spacers for my my99 classic, probably aroung 6-8mm thick.

It has 17" prodrive wheels on and I feel they would look much better wlightly nearer the arches.

Would there be any safety or other issues to have these fitted?

Also where can I get hold of them??

thanks all.

You'll need to fit longer studs,as they say you need at least 8 full turns of the wheel nuts to be safe.Mine has 5mm spacers,and i only get 7 turns.
A good place to buy is Performance Car Parts / EBC Brakes / Eibach Lowering Springs / Koni Suspension Kits / Magnex Exhausts / Powertec Induction Kits - Euro Performance.
I got my eibach spacers hear,which give no wheel balance problems at all. I had a set of cheap spacers before,and they juddered really bad.

Mine arrived today and I must say they really are a quality piece of kit.... bit pricey but well worth the money. I ended up with 20mm spacers but money well spent...
