I have 15mm at the rear and 10 mm at the front and my car is also running KW v3s - looks great - fills the wheel arches nicely. I wouldn't go anymore than this :151:
Ideal sized spacers with the standard wheels are 20mm rear and 10mm front.
I looked into doing this, im gonna get a price for spacers tomorrow, as the wheels just look "lost" in the rear arches
Have thought about this but was worried about whether this causes problems with the wheel alignment? Is it just a case of put the spaces in, then have the wheels realigned as normal?

Also, so you need longer bolts or are the standard ones long enough?
H&R sell the spacers and bolts in a kit, here is an example on Ebay:

10mm

15mm

Certainly not cheap, you may find them cheaper from demon tweeks and they sell bolts too however I dont believe they are H&R from Demon Tweeks.

Another option is www.badger5.co.uk call Bill for pricing :)

I bought mine from Motorsport Tuning they were £179 for a 15mm set and a 10 mm set including longer bolts (locking ones not included) and postage. Next day delivery too - top company :151:
Thanks for your help, so its 20mm or 15mm at the back? and 10mm at front, these dont put the camber out atall do they?
Wheel spacers do not effect camber as they are equally spaced 360 degrees. Lowering of the vehicle effects camber.

20mm or 15mm at the back and 10mm for the front, correct.
Do wheel spacers look alrite if the cars not lowerd? Has anyone got any pics with there car with wheel spacers?

I had my spacers on before it was lowered and it looked great - I'll see if i can find any photos

Dirty and lowered - poor pic I'm afraid



The only picture I have before the V3s were fitted - doesn't show the spacers too well
