Thanks for the great replies! Anyone got spacers for sale or where would be best to get them from and how much to space by?

Another vote for negative off set here! I like your centre console... It's like a Storm Troopers armour! |

Thanks, I love it. Going to put double pod on top of dash in line with console and add oil pressure gauge to existing boost gauge again coded white.
All I'll need then is some underbody neon and wheel spinners! Not! |

So what's the problem with spacers, I know its only cosmetic but was looking at the bolt on 30mm ones just to push them out a little not beyond the arches.
I'm intrigued by the horror stories? Anyone got one? |

I think the key is not to buy the cheapest ones you can find!

To be honest if you get good quality ones you should be fine. I know what I said earlier as I thought it would be easier and probably cheaper with the wheels but good quality spacers should be ok. I've had them before and had zero issues.

Thanks Jay and Mr K, appreciated. How can you tell if they are good quality or not? Seen a few on e bert for around £75 a pair any tips on what to look out for?

While I am not a fan of spacers that picture looks like they were running massive offset rims + spacer.
The main problem with running standard offset rims with a spacer you can't check that the nuts on the spacer are tight when the rim is on. Steel rims with a choice of offsets are cheap enough, Is saving 100-150 quid on something that could kill / harm yourself, Your family or others worth it? |

Good point Fez, I'm going to put the money towards offset rims. Not worth the risk!

I'm running my original maverick alloys at the moment and want to push them out 30mm so they run flush with the arches.
I don't know what they are offset at as standard so on a steely what offset should I be looking for to achieve this. Tyres are maxis bighorn 235/75 r16 and will do rims and tyres at the same time, wouldn't mind a slightly wider tyres too but am not intending to lift it for a while so want something that isn't going to require body /flap mods ideally.
