    Dear all,

    I’ve decided to go for Novitec sport springs plus wheel spacers but I have some questions regarding the latter:

    Taking into account that Novitec offers 10, 20 and 30mm per wheel and Capristo suggests 14 front and 17mm rear, which one should I go for? I’m just trying to avoid the wheels to look sunken in bodywork once it is lowered.

    Another question is, why smaller spacer in front axle as offset is actually smaller as OEM? Wouldn’t it be more sensible to fit equal spacers to mantain standard balance?

    Thanks for your help.

    Forgot to mention that obviously I don’t want neither a crispy car nor wheel rubbing on both axles.

    Whatever keeps the wheels flush to the side of the openings. Fronts mostly take a smaller spacer to achieve this than rears. Given the choices you stated, 10 front and 20 rear. Your car will perform noticeably better with your changes. Don't forget to do four corner balance and check/adjust the other settings. Need a real performance shop to get this correct IMO.
