I purchased them off a fellow IS driver, but I think they are on eBay for around £65 a pair. I've gone 15mm at the front and 20mm at the rear on each hub, so a 30mm total width increase at the front and 40mm at the rear.

As for improved handling . . . I think it feels better? But until I change the centre of gravity . . . Lower him, the improvement is probably negligible. It'll look so much better with my 17"s on.

in all honesty mate thats barely going to make little no difference in handling, you have increase the track by 4cm, you would notice more of a difference upgrading the tyres.

looks good tho, cant fault that

As you have increased the front track you will find the steering jeometry will not be 100 % as everything would have been set up for standard track.

To get the best handling the steering geometry should be adjusted accordingly to keep everything correct.

Your insurance could reject a claim if it has not been done correctly & notified to them of the change.

I had 15mm and 20 mm on mine and did have the geometry reset and it did make a difference in handling. Bends and roundabouts I took regularly felt much more stable and it also makes it look so much nicer filling the arches the way they should have been. I have 8 1/2 by 18 inch wheels now so don't use the spacers, so if anyone wants them message me.
