Hey guys, looking to get some huc centric bolt on spacers for my car. my current wheels are +45 offset, im running a 215 wide tyre. Im looking to get 25mm hub centric spacers front n rear, so it'll bring my offset down to +20 :D

Also my car is on coilovers, and i very much like the height. Its basically 1.5 figner gap from the tyyre to the guard, and my guards ahvnt been touched at all. here is a picture for reference:

My questions in regards to these H&R Spacers are:

1) If i were to put 25mm spacers front and rear, will my tyres rub with the guards at all? And if they do with 25mm, what is a good size sapcer then?

2) Will i need any guardwork done with these sized spacers?

3) Putting these hub centric spacers on, will it wear out my hubs or any other related parts fasteR?

Cheers

get a ruler, put it up against your tyre and measure 25mm
should be pretty close to what you'll see in terms of wheel arch/tyre gap

guard work depends on whether it's gonna stick out far enough to scrub or not

it probably will but i wouldn't think excessively as long as they're hub centric

i'm running 15mm and 10mm h&r spacers right now, no complaints about them

You will almost certainly need to roll the rear guards. Front will depend on camber, it should be okay.

They might wear your wheel bearings faster but I doubt you will even notice the difference. I have replaced both my front wheel bearings on my DC5 but I think this was just normal wear and tear and not associated with my +15 offset wheels.
