    RS2 3mm spacers needed.

    Just wanting some advise on spacers.
    Never used them before.

    The front hub is OE with small reds if that info is needed.

    I,m fitting 18" MTM cup 1's with 245 -35 tyres to my RS2, I beleive the rears are just bolt on, very close to rear arms but o.k.
    The fronts I've been told need 3mm spacers to avoid rubbing.

    GT500 run's this set up. I could ask him, but he gets enough questions from me, so I thought I'd leave it to the panel.

    Just want to know what make to use Fordge H&R, any others??
    What info do I need to pick the correct spacers for the set up I've described above.

    Ta very much to any info.

    For a start they need to be 5x130 and the right centre bores as they are different to Porsche ones as far as I know. I doubt forge do them for the RS2.
    Just some finishing touches to do now

        You do not need spacers, they bolt right on.

              Right chaps thanks for the replys.
              I've decided to go with Tonks suggestion and I've pm'd Bambridge.

              The info Kev requires.

              "Max diameter of the front hub, and the diameter of the spigot to get the bore right.

              If anybody has this exact info please could they post it up.


              In Lee's post he mentions 5-130, what is this measurment?

              Cheers

                      They are et 52 and 8.5 wide. Not tried Handcocks but some 245s are alot wider than others.

                      Steve you need centre bore of 71.3 5x130 and do a quick measure of the disc face for the external diameter.
