I've just finished putting my 18's back on and some big spacers to get them sitting right. The wheel refurb was done by BJV Engineering near Hemel, I am very pleased with the results.

Look like my young ladies wheels. What are they mate?

Looking nice. How big are the spacers on the rear.



Wheels are BK121's (normally rubbish finish hence the refurb). They are 18x7.5J +38 offset, spacers are 20mm front and 25mm rear. Car is dropped on HKS springs.

-> Edited to say, No clearance issues noticed as of yet.

Yikes. 20/25mm spacers are pretty big mate.

Looks good though.


I did say they were hooooge

It's very hard to get the right offset for a 200. I know I'm gonna wreck the bearings, but it's no different to running 7.5J's at a +20 odd offset. The spacers are pucker ones as well - hubcentric with longer studs.
