Just need it for my front wheels, as its going to be 7.5" wide and clearance need from my suspension. An orignal offset of e45 plus the 3mm spacer = e42 will be fine wont it, on 18's? Think an extra 3mm wont rub my front arches?

Whats the point with a 1mm spacer?? its too thin, it wont make any difference what so-ever! How close do you want to run the tollerences? if 1mm allows clearence then as soon as the SLIGHTEST bit of flex occurs in the steering assembily it will catch.

kenni you need a bigger spacers than that mate, trust me, I have 7 x 18's in 45mm offset with coilovers, i have 4mm spacers on the front and you would stuggle to get a rizzla paper between the coilover and wheel, if you have 7.5 x 18's you will need more than a 4mm spacer!!!

Spoke to a few people and 7.5" (why this size..cus theres Fcuk-all choice wiv 7" ) will go on. My main concern is the front wheel touching the suspension. R-Tech say they will go on with spacers (1mm spacers) just 'ave to see...
