Lots, if you use the wrong spacers. It's important you use spacers that lock over the hub ring and fit snug. Lots of dodgy ones don't and the car then sit on the wheel studs. Not good.

I use spacers on a race car which sees way more applied force than a road car ever will so I have no concerns with these.

The burger spacers are excellent in this regard.

Concerns besides that - up to your call with car insurance/ road worthyness etc

I just did 15 on the front and 12.5 on the rears. Both look perfect. Def a huge improvement on stance.

That looks AWESOME! Definitely the setup I would be looking for. If you dropped the ride a little with lowering springs would that push the wheels out even more?

I'm not sure if that would push them out if lowered. I think 20s are the way to go eventually. Also the m performance kit for front sides and rear diffuser. Can't justify spending 10k on 20s and the m performance stuff atm

Ecs didn't have the same brand. At least not that i could find. The 12.5s did fit a bit more snug on the backs compared to the ones I put on the fronts. Hopefully that doesn't matter.

Yes. You have to order the kit to get them.

Ahhhhh h.....I see now. There is no 12.5 WITH bolts from ecs. Only the Turner kit comes with bolts. Makes sense now.

Yup that explains it. I wasn't sure why but now i remember. Odd that they didn't have the kit for both brands on both sizes.

I know right? That's a lot of money lost for what would be 10 bucks worth of bolts...

thanks for the pics!

any chance you can take one from the front so the wheel arch is absolute dead on? youve got one close but not quite.

just to compare to this pic on 10mm spacers. I've been mulling over switch to a 13 front compared to the 10.

Have you had any issues with wheel vibration or difference in the way the car handles?

Looking for spacers while I wait for 340 springs. So is there any difference between what factory wheels are on the car or are they all tucked the same? What is the max spacer before you need new lugs? I am on 19s. Thanks
