    Recardos are 6.5. Not your normal bbs ra.

    A lot of the time when u buy second hand wheels as a lot of us do we dont have the choice.

    And mine were hub adaptors not spacers so im different :p

    You might get away with it seeing yours are 6.5" wide but mine are defo going to rub the rear lip if they sit out an extra 20mm.

    Recardo's RA's are 7" wide IIRC.

    Spacers or wider wheels... its not really going to make any difference to the problems you might have with rubbing etc..

    If you just want to push the wheel further out into the arch then spacers will do that for you. That is exactly what I have done. As for whether you rub the arch, that just depends on how thick the spacer is and how wide/offset the wheel is in the first place.

    Yup thats all I wanna do! I'm not after any performance enhancing qualitys its just to improve the looks. Im just consernd that is gonna knacker my suspension or something else..........the fact that it might rub on the arch isn't really a problem [:D]
