H&R Spacers

[graham 500]

I fitted a set of H&R 23mm spacers to rear of my V8V last year and have just had a new set of tyres. I have gone from 275 to 285. Now the tyre just protrudes the arch. Anyone got a set off 11mm or want to swap 11mm for 23mm? I have the standard 19" 7 spoke alloys and have cut down studs to fit.

I thought spacers were only allowed on Vauxahall Corsa's

Could you not get a local machine shop to turn them down?

Great

And dont forget, although your new tyres are 10mm wider, thats just 5mm either side, so to get the tyre back in the same place, you only need to remove 5mm off the spacer.

Go get the geo done and add a little more negative camber to tuck those tyres in.

Have a look at a fast road setup on the geo compared to the OE Settings, and that should sort it all out

Haven't been on PH in a bit so I'm late on this but I had that same setup but also H&R springs - no issues at all with fitment or rubbing, and the tires were still a few mm within the wheel wells.
