spacers it is then, but then they might rub on the outside arch

[novaco]

oh just another question........

since im adding like more metal inbetween the hub and the alloy do i need to get longer studs??

yes, well i did with mine anyway, i wouldnt go any more than 5mm. But it depends how bad its rubbing

[novaco]

so about 4 or 5 mm should do it then!!

When i had astra gsi fan alloys on my gsi they rubbed a little bit on the inner arch-just took the wheels off and 'persuaded' the arch in abit with a lump hammer-worked a treat!! I'd avoid spacers if i were you, but like Phil said, it depends how badly it's rubbing.

you mean you hit it really hard to make a dent where it was rubbing? :p

Yip :lol:

Novaco-I would try the smallest spacers you can get away with.
3mm ones might sort it.
I have a set of 3mm spacers that i had on my old car, i paid about ?3 each for them.
You can get a set off ebay for about a fiver IIRC.
