As per title really, wanting to stick some spacers on my stock ST wheels, thinking 20mm front and 25mm rear, has anyone done this to a mk3 and know they fit? also do the stock alloys havea recess on the mating hub to allow a little pock from the studs in the hub? 

 

cheers, pictures would help as well :) 

Bump anyone?

Hi Daniel

May i ask why ?

Do you have the stock 18" or the option 19" alloys. 

These fill the arches very well as it is.

Just be carefull that the tyres do not rub the insides of the arches.

Is your ST lowered or standard

stock 18's and its lowered 15/20mm ive had a look and im sure 20mm spacers wouldnt course any rubbing, now its lower just need filling out a little more 

Hi Daniel

Ok fair enough, Would the tyres or rims rum on the suspension strut or cables etc.

If no then go ahead and try it, but im sure someone more experianced will be along shortly :-)

Wider track at the back may help at least

Jamie

I have 20mm spacers front and back on my MK3. No rubbing at all, looks great too. Going for 25mm in the rear soon though. Needs a little more poke.



Before:

Im on 35mm H&R springs btw

Thanks KPG now im hooked and want to do that to my st.

was there anything else you need to do for that ?

Where should i get the spacers from

are the wheel studs long enough

Jamie

I got these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400995199803

Everything needed is included in the kit. Just get two kits, 1x front and 1x rear. Just can use the 'make offer' function on eBay, i got two sets for £105 :)

I recommended 20F and 25R. Needs a little more poke in the rear. Just wish my front suspension height was about an inch lower :(

kpg - do you know if the stock ST alloys have the room behind them for the hub studs to still fit ok? yours looks good but different alloys to mine

Im pretty sure your alloys would be fine. I was recommended those spacers by the guys over at STOC. There's at least 5/6 STs like yours with the same kit and no problems reported.
