Default Spacers?

Does anyone have a set of wheels spacers on their Turbo?
JUST put the Eibachs on today - WOW what a difference!
MUCH better looking and hmm the suspension bottoms easily now,
even with the bump stops trimmed to Eibach spec.

So...I'd like a set of perhaps 1/4" spacers to get the wheels out a bit...ideas? Who hazzem?

That's weird. I have Eibachs on the wife's '01 and my GT and the place that installed them said they didn't need to trim the stops. I've never had a bottoming out problem even with adults in the back seat. [:I]

Only wheel spacers I've seen listed for a PT is from Pro-Felge, http://www.cruisertuning.de/ , under ext other on page 2&3. They are 50mm (2") and 60mm (2 3/8") though. Might look around for some 5/100 mm bolt pattern spacers. Think the smallest thickness I've seen for that bolt pattern is 25mm or 3/4", http://www.optauto.com/webstore/prod...k=yes&dept=424 . Some are made with 6061 billet and require 2 weeks to machine/build your spacers, http://www.performancewheel.com/adapters.html .

If you look at the images below you should be able to get an idea of the look you'll get from spacers. I got a set of H&R and I dig em, great look, gives the PT a great stance.

We put eibachs on my dads Pt. It would bottom but after we cut the bump stops we haven't had anymore problems.
