15mm rear spacers, will it rub on pre-lci?

hems77 · 02-23-2012, 05:27 PM

Hi

Just had 12mm rear spacers fitted on my pre-lci which has standard Msport suspension with staggered MV3s. Looks like it will take 15mm instead to make it more flush, still looks a little inset.

Anyone running 15mm in the back confirm they are OK and dont rub under any circumstances? with load, going over speed bumps etc?

I had 10mm in the front and these look flush and better.

If it is OK I will buy the 15mm's and sell the 12mm.

Thanks

I have 9.5j rear alloys and 15mm spacer rubbed so I put 12mm and there is no rubbing. I would think 15mm you wOuld get away with it!

15mm is spot on.

I have 15mm on my Pre-LCI with staggered MV3s, no rub at all. Even when I had about 200+ kilos of stuff in the back couple of weeks back!

MV3's are 8.5J,so there's more room for the wheel to go out

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Any one else need the BMS 15mm spacers or 18mm? 75 a pair with bolts?

what about those who are without M suspension but with MV3 wheels?

Same applies - the suspension won't affect how far the wheels sit under the arches. SE suspension might get away with the 18mm spacers, even less chance of rubbing
