I'm on the case this weekend for some rear spacers , i have experimented with several wood spacer templates in varying widths to get the best possible idea on look and fitment.
What i have determined is that 10mm is optimum, possibly 12mm max , but before i take the next step i wanted to be clear of the geometry setup involved with the rear suspension.
Does the wheel stay in a vertical plane when moving in upward or down stokes of the suspension , or does it move inwards slighty as the wheel moves upwards within the wheel arch.
This may sound like an odd question but it may determin what size spacer i use , if moving inwards then 12mm will be good, if it stays in a fixed vertical plane then 10mm will be max otherwise contact with inner wheel arch will occur.
hope this makes sense and someone can clarify things.
