Always a sucker for an upgrade (!) I wondered if anyone had fitted the Life110 wheel spacers to their car and what difference, other than cosmetic, it made

I fitted them, well, I got the same ones from eibach, and they make the cosmetic difference required.
I doubt anyone blindfolded could tell any difference in the seat.

Happy with the cosmetic difference?

The life110 ones are 5mm and 7mm. There’s also 15mm and 20mm ones from here:

For those who have fitted them does it look like there’s enough room left for the bigger ones?

I'm happy with the 5 & 7mm set up. Personally I wouldn't want to go wider.

The 5/7mm spacers were a bit much for my tastes so I went for 3/5mm which I like a lot. Still looks OEM, only better.

yes very happy. I mean someone coming from JDM might want to go further of course but 5/7mm just makes the back look really nice.

Hey guys,

I recently installed a set of wheel spacers and something doesn’t feel quite right.

As you can see in the picture, the spacer sits flush on the hub but it doesn’t have its own hubcentric lip. At the same time, it almost completely covers the original hub lip.

Because of that, it seems like the wheel would no longer properly center on the hub and would instead rely only on the lug bolts. I can already feel a slight amount of play when positioning the wheel, which makes me a bit uncomfortable.

My mechanic strongly advised me to stay away from these and not install them, especially if I plan to to track the car.

They are H&R aliminium ones 5 and 7mm. I bought them from Mecaparts.

Appreciate any input!

Your mechanic is probably right - mine said exactly the same thing. However, I do have mine fitted still and do track the car (35+ days). No problems as yet, but maybe a new set of wheels should be on order...
