Hi, I have a 1990 rover mini cooper with standard wheels and arches, but like the idea of putting wheel spacers on the rear to push the wheels out a bit and fill the arches, like at the front .  I was just wondering what size spacers would do this? And does anyone know the size of the spacers that were sold in the John cooper sports handling pack?

Thanks

The 'spacer' on the rear is built into the drums, standard cars never had spacers on the front!

Hi, sorry, I know that the front doesn't have spacers, I meant I wanted to get the rear wheels the same width as the front. And to do this wouldn't I would need spacers on the rear?

Thanks

Yes however youd need custom spacers made, which isnt reccommended

I put 10mm on the rear to fill the arches better, I've just got standard rover 'special' arches

Hi, thanks for the reply. Do you have a picture of what that looks like?

5mm, just enough so the 165 tyres cleared the shocks
