I got my speedline alesios finally fitted on saturday, they look wicked on my black corsa.

Just to let people now in order for me to get the centre caps on i had to use 3mm spacers on the front, and 6mm spacers on the back along with longer bolts for the bak alloys.

So the above info is for people planning to get these alloys fitted to there cars.

Cheers.

Do they foul the arches at the rear with the spacers?

Yeah, thats what I did...

Whats the reason for the spacers - so you don't have to take the nut cap off?
