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

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!

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

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
