Advice On Spacers, Tyre Width (Oz Superleggeras)

[SimonJ 2]

I'm planning to buy OZ Superleggeras and may eventually put a wanted ad on here but there a set on a Ford forum with tyres and, optionally, Eibach 15mm spacers.

 

Are the 15mm spacers enough (I've got Bilstein coliovers)? Something rings a bell about needing 20mm?

 

Also the tyres are 205/45x15 and I don't want to pay for something that's going to be too wide (fouling) or, even if they do clear everything, for use as wets - any opinions?

I have Ultraleggeras on mine, 16 inch diameter, 7J width, ET16 and have no issues. With coilovers it may be a different issue if you have very long prings or run it really low.

 

Standard Ford ET is 38 I believe, so you may need 22mm spacers, or could may just be lucky enough and get away with 15mm ones.

 

Just read up a bit:
