I'm spaced out!!!

Postby rover » Wed Jul 25, 2007 12:58 pm

Cleaned and painted my new spacers yesterday, fitted them today....what a difference! :D

Definately made for the Mk3, look how close to the edge of the arch the wheel/tyres are now 8) :D

If anyone wants a pair of 7mm ally spacers let me know as they are now redundant, will fit any 5 stud Transit, I paid £15 for them so if anyone wants them a tenner will buy em :wink:

Image

I'll put em in the parts for sale section later :wink:

I assume you mean the 7mm alloy ones? Yes they would be fine on your Mk4 so long as you have that amount of clearance to the edge of the arch?
