Hi,
Changing front rims from 7 x 15" to 7.5 x 16" estoril 7 spokes. In other words the same as fitted on the rear.
Tyres will be 215 or maybe 225.
Can anyone tell me what thickness off spacer will I need to find so that I don't get any snagging on the body/chassis/suspension.
Thanks.

Or rack stops, just try it and see not all of these cars have bodies that sit totally square, one car might need spacers others won't.

I have 16" wheels on the front and as suggested they don't need spacers. You may not need rack stops either it just depends how centrally your rack is mounted. I only needed a 5mm one on the offside to stop the inside rim catching the lower suspension arm on full RH lock when they were first fitted.
