Sportlines and spacers.

[ZipcodeUK]

I've just installed rear wheel spacers and am now thinking the fronts need some help to balance things a bit.
So I'm looking for pics of T6's on coilovers, with front /rear spacers, ideally on 18" wheels, but happy to see any pics of lowered vans with wheel spacers.

Yep. 25mm all-round.

Looks spot on. Tbh That's the way they should have left the factory

@ZipcodeUK have you done15mm rear too? I've been looking at adding them to sportline alloys, but was looking at 20mm front and rear. What coilovers are you on?

@ZipcodeUK sorry what splitter is it? I'm still undecided on sportline front or a splitter

25mm rear, 15mm front
B14's, wound all the way down in the front, up 10mm from the lowest height on the rear.

M-design as I still don't like the sportline front enough to spend like £600 or however much they want now.

Yeh same about the cost, Elliot from Travelinite is doing a copy which looks identical formaroumf £300 somthink I may go for that, I'm going b14's as that's what I had on t5..
Thinking 20mm front and rear would look ok then, do your 25mm stick out past bodywork?

I've also ordered locking wheel bolts. 55mm for the front, which I'll need to cut town to 30mm for the rears.

Where did you get the locking wheel bolts from?

Ended up getting them from Amazon. Tried to source them from van / car specialists but no one had stock and they all said it would be 1-2 weeks to get them direct from Mcgard in Germany.
I looked on their site, found the spec I needed and then searched / compared that to the part numbers on other sites: Radius seat
So I found the exact same bolts on Amazon "Prime", so they are on a 1-2 day delivery.

@Daniel84 , Lock bolts arrived last week. I fitted the fronts right away as they were the appropriate length. Last night, I cut the remaining two down so they would fit into my 25mm Spacers on the rear. Filled the edges nicely and they went straight on.
I'm a little happier now knowing that all four wheels have the extra safety of the locking bolts.

Hey gang!

I'm about to fit Bilstein B14's and lower the van about 45mm over all.

I want to get spacers and fit them at the same time - ideally bolt to hub type.

Has anyone got H&R 25mm all round? (25mm is the smallest bolt to hub available)

What's your recommendations?

Many thanks!

I have B14’s with sportline 18’s no spacers, don’t think they are necessary, looks fine without imo.
