Small refinement, need to move front wheels out a few mill, as touching metal on full lock, when parking up in garage.

Any links to right type would be appreciated.

Friend of mine, after moving his rear wheels out approx 10mm, so i recommended hub centric ones,again, any links to correct type would be appreciated

Mat Smith sourced and fitted mine after fitting 16" rears to the front, 5mm jobbies, didn't have any rubbing just wanted to compensate a bit for the narrowed track...

You can get any make of 5mm spacers from any decent car spares place, possibly even Halfords. About a tenner a pair.

Anything over 6mm and you will need longer wheel studs fitting.

Anything over 10mm and you will need hubcentric spacers.

I have been using 5mm spacers with Ford fit (ET38 offset) wheels for a couple of years now with no issues.

^They're not hubcentric from that photo (edit; They might be if they're only 5mm as I think the hub will still stick out a bit)

Do yourself a favour and buy from here.. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/jjcraceandrally/_i.html?_...

Had quite a few different sets off of them for different cars and they're always spot on and cheap, lowest they go is 10mm though. They sell the correct studs as a kit with the spacers and they're very easy to knock out and change.
