Spacers for rear wheels

What size spacers do you need to fit 17's on the rear?

Was gutted when I tried to whack one on the other day :lol:

depends on what suspension you have really

On my old normal style it was 10mm, on coilovers it was 5mm

Just standard shocks at the mo until I can afford coil overs.

With 10mm spacers I'd have to replace the studs right?

Your rolling on cossie rims ain't you?

Do they stick out, as there quite wide?

Not on cossies any more mate..

My old cossie wheels went straight on the rear no spacers, but the 17" need spacers..

Ah, of course cause the 17" hits the cup of the shocker.

Did the cossie ones stick out cause I know you can fail mot with wheels that stick out.
