Put my 3/5mm spacers on the rear wheels.
SInce the 16's on rear wheel seems to sit in slightly?
But I suppose i am just used to the 17's..But sure 16's are 7 x 16 ???? as 17's were 7 x 17?????

Yes i'd put a small spacer on the rear, it makes a noticable difference. The wheels on my car are ET40 which means they stick out 9mm further than the standard Sxi wheels, you can really notice the difference and improvement in appearence and handling.

Thanks for opinions ppl.
It's lowered at moment wi apex stuff (-40) meant to be.
Since I took 17's off looks higher...
Once it's on the move it's alot lower but at standstill...
Think I will shove the spacers on.Got them in the shed.
Was goin to give to icy but looks like I will put them on...

By the looks of it though I don't think the 3mm is going make much diff to wheel hitting the arch.
I will try it and see..
Not had the car loaded up since put 16's back on...Only been me missus and bairn..
No other passengers or shoppin etc.
