Just put new wheels on which need 10mm spacers on the front, the bloke i bought them off also had 20mm spacers on the back which i bought as well and have put on. They look great and really fill the arches nicely but will they have an effect on the handling?

I have, several times, i doesn't seem much different. I just wondered if anyone had any good/bad long term experience.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound a tool!

I'm quite eager to try a set of spacers with my standard + wheels. I think cosmetically at least, they do fill the lines out nicely.

Just read my reply, it sounds a bit arsey! It wasn't meant to be. I have the plus wheels too, but i think 16's are a fraction on the small side so i went for 17's. It does look nice and fat from behind with the spacers. cool

Talking of spacers - has anyone seen the size of the ones they use on Chop Shop - 60mm + shocked

surely they can't be safe when that big.
