Thinking of putting spacers on front wheels of my Tuscan MK1,Any reccomendation on what size this should be? Is this neccasary for the back wheels to have spacers as well.Tyres will need changing soon rear is Toyo proxes T1-R 245/40zr18 93Y Fronts Toyo proxes TR-1 235/40zr18 91y are thees the right size.
PCD wheel nut pattern,is it Ford?

No spacers needed on the rear, just the front. You need 3mm spacers.

Tyre sizes are a debatable topic. I have 235 40 18 Front and 255 35 18 rear.

Thanks for info, do you find 255 on the rear better?

I've always had 255 one the rear so can't really compare. A little extra width of rubber on the road has got be a bonus on a rear wheel drive car!

Do these make a big difference,or is it as usual,personal choice?

The car feels less twitchy at speed and more planted. I do have Nitrons which also make a considerable difference.

Might be worth a read through this:
