Hi guys, mechanical novice so any help would be very much appreciated.
Can anyone recommend spacers that would be suitable for my car. I have a Hawk STI that now has these alloys....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1304087947...84.m1438.l2649
Any help would be great.

Hi Bez,
Thanks for reply, I have bought those exact alloys they arrive monday, however im after a really wide stance for the scoob. (love the euro look)
I know not to everyones taste but wondered how much i would have to play with once these were fitted.
Thanks again,
Rob

I have 8" wide with a ET45 of set, I have 2mm of clearance to the rear arch from the tyre,
the wheels will fill the arches a lot more than the std wheels did.

all depends on how much you want to go euro style.
or you could just fit longer studs and fit some thinner spacers, but would not recommend hard driving with these

I hope this helps a bit.

Wow, do you have some photos of your car just out of interest mate?
Thats sounds great though, thanks a lot for finding those for me, the first option you put up-would they fit without modifications then yeah?
Thanks again!

Here are some pics.
But mine is not euro look, its just low for track.
with the 1st option you would have to roll the arches and you have the rear arch extensions on yours, mine I do not with mine only been a WRX and not an Sti
If I was you I would put the wheels on the car and then measure the gaps.
If you search for Budgie on here,
Have a look at his car, he has the look you want, and he is a nice guy, and will help you with advice if you want any.
there are some more photos in my profile, just click on Bez300
