No, but i think you should just do it and let me know if they catch...

I had a plumb line to the arches the other day and i fancy 15mm fronts with 25/30mm rears...

lol...........guess if they do i can get them machined on the miller

they are damn expensive tho..........£100 for the 32mm

These do 15mm (BARGAIN) and 20mm for a fairly decent price...

Camber on the rear of mine is well off and needs sorting but the rears seem to be able to come out a good 10mm over the fronts. Be good to see my snowies pushed out a little. But holidays and DIY stuff means i'm trying to do all the cheap and easy stuff 1st

10mm front shouldn't be an issue..nor should 32mm rears..depending on tyre width.. the rears can be spaced out loads due to the suspension travel moving in an arc rather than straight up

I measured the fronts and looked about 18/20mm clearance, so i was thinking the 15mm up front (when i eventually get some)... What was the max size you had on your old setup?

i had 10mm on front... but what you can have is more down to tyre width and offset.... having a similar issue myself..but without spacers lol http://www.vectra-c.com/forum/showthread.php?t=113333

Well i'm on 19 snowies with standard tire sizes, so maybe some clever person can work out the maths for me

Otherwise 10 and 20mm it is, just to be safe

By way, haven't you got a fat mate that can sit on your slam panel while you take a look

I've got 18" x 8" wheels with an offset of ET45, fitted with 235 x 40 tyres, and am currently using 22mm spacers on the rear and 18mm on the front, with no problems, but thats on a Signum.
