First off, im wanting to lower my style + by 30mm so if anyone has any pics of what they look like id be very grateful :)

Also has anyone got there rear wheels spaced out to fill the arch more?? If someone has any pics please :)

Im hoping these two mods with improve handling :) correct me if im wrong

Thought you was getting rid of the car soon ??? Lowering will improve the looks and lower the centre of gravity, so should help with handling. Spacers on the other hand in my opinion are not worth the hassle. You will need longer studs to fit these, and it will effectively weaken the rear end. I'm not saying it will break, but not worth it.

i am, but due to work putting my company car back till next year i want to finish my car off first, i may even keep it as a garage project but the plan is to sell it, doesnt mean i carnt fiddle till then :) n cheers, why would the extended hubs weaken the car?

also do you know what i should use to cut into a bumper?? fitting retro fogs and need to make a slightly bigger hole in the vents

[Mike77]

Not weaken the car as such mate,,, meant more stress on the wheel studs,,, which will have to be changed to extended ones to accommodate the spacers. And the only thing I can think of to cut with is a dremel and a steady hand lol.

Not saying don't do it but if you are thinking of selling you will reduce your potential market if you lower your car as some folks just wont go near it.

Ok thanks :) how do you change the bolts/studs?? And can you put them on the front ?? Or would that be a bad idea?? Haha thx lol ill give a Stanley a go and a file lol think ill go round it in pen first make a template and tape it on then slowly cut 1mm at a time lol could see me loosing half my bumper lol haha

so is putting hubcentric spacers on a good idea or not?? i have found some on eBay which are 20mm rears and 10mm fronts, they either replace the old studs with longer ones and you put the spacers on with the wheels or you can get ones which use the existing studs and have thier own built in if you get me?? i have attached the links for you

I say that hub cenric rings won't do a lot. They're designed to make wheels more stable at high speeds and since you're running stock wheels (I believe) it won't make a difference. But basically they take the weight of the car off of the wheel nuts specifically and move it onto the hub, hence high speed stability improvements.

Running aftermarket momos, im planning to go 30mm lower and space them out?? But how do you change the stud length??

[Jake90087]

Usually your standard bolts go through the spacers, and then the spacer bolts through the wheels.

[D13 HPD 95]

Yh on some they do, but there are some which require you to change the length of the bolts??
