Very fooking big spacers!!!

If they were the same width as cyclones, theyd need 30mm spacers to fit!!

UHHHHH just don't!!




Or if you do make sure you get the type that bolt to the hub then bolt the wheel to the spacer type jobbys

Also if your trying to get a stanced look (as you were before so guessing this is still the case) 45mm spacers Tongue

Well either way, a 306 has ET15-18 wheels as standard, so you're looking at a 30mm spacer in order to fit the wheels at the correct offset.

Interesting idea Smile Could be worth looking into a stud and nut conversion for them? You might get lucky and be able to run them with a 20mm spacer with a bit of arch work.

wrong way round isnt that Scott? 20mm and they would be well in the arch?

You could get them and run 30mm spacers but spacers do get quite expensive. You want 30mm bolt on not the 30mm extended nut ones.
