yep, 25mm spacers on all 4 wheels. HR+ hubcentrics. It brings the front wheels out exactly where I want the, the rears to be in the same place would take a 40mm each side spacer. I have run that before, but I used to clip kerbs quite a lot on corners (never seemed to get the hang of swinging wide enough). :confused::confused: Also my tyres are over-sized they are 235/60/17 as opposed to the standard 235/55/17 so that is a 4% rolling road increase/ 25mm diameter increase / 12mm radius increase.
When I got the vehicle its stance was weak and poor. I am now much happier it looks more purposeful, just more designed rather than thrown together.:)

@chriscroft it looks far better with the spacers on ,the standard wheels look right now .
I have found some ,do they come in pairs or a set of four ?
 
I bought them in pairs. I think they where £98.77 inc vat for a pair from dc performance. So you will need two pairs. They are advertised as T5 parts but they are all the same. H&R DRA type, which bolts directly to the hub with supplied countersunk bolts, then you use another set of supplied shorter bolts to bolt your wheel to the spacers. Be aware you cannot use your existing security bolts on you your wheel without cutting them down slightly, or they will hit the spacers and the bolt will not tighten fully. The new shorter bolts heads are completely covered by the devonport centre cap so that is good news as they have a different head size/wobble collar configuration.

I think it is well worth paying for the german hubcentric TUV type of spacer, anything else is not worth the risk imo. I can honestly say you will be amazed at the difference the whole vehicle takes on with a bit of playing with the wheel/tyres.:):)
