		Just wondering how big of a spacer I can fit to my rear wheels without causing rubbing when I have a car full (never will happen probably but just incase)
Suspension is standard.
Also currently got some 6mm ones fitted but I really need longer bolts if anyone can show me a link to some.

		Depends on the car really, and how bad the beam is, how much the arch liner has warped etc.  One of mine rubbed the outside with a good beam but a warped/bent liner with a full car and no spacers.
Why do you need to space cyclones anyway?

		Cosmetic reasons haha. Probably going to sack them off anyways and if I get some more ill get better ones that come with bolts

		Ah I see, tbh you're probably better off spending the money on nicer wheels rather than spacers and bolts to move cyclones a couple of mm, just my opinion of course.

		Lions are awful lol, if only cyclones came in 16"!! Fair enough though, I like 'clones as well, just can't see the point in spacing them myself lol.

		Lions are made of cheese and bend very easily and also if you find some they usually go for 2k 
I know people who use 20mm spacers on clones as they run brembo under them but I think you need longer bolts.

		Just could do with a link to some longer bolts to suit a 6mm spacer for now. Would never buy lions for them two reasons haha

		Just out of interest are you running 195 50 or 55 obviously with 50 will help it not rub as much.
