Yes I'm running 17 inch alloys with 235/50 series tyres and have fitted 15 mm spacers to clear the arch trim as they rubbed on full lock

Hope that helps

Someone near me has put 5mm spacers all round on the van, would this create a problem as the wheel center would be out of line any ideas cheers.

I have heard some after market ST lookalike rims need spacers but genuine ST's dont. Any reason for wanting to fit them?

I have genuine ST rims on the van and also a set of 5mm wheel spacers, before fitting them I thought it might be better to get some advice as they don't have hub centric spacers in the middle cheers.
