Enjoyed the video, not too sure that I would put them on mine but no doubt you did your research. I note a few comments regarding insurance being invalidated etc, which you addressed. I would only add to people living in the UK that insurance companies are always required to honour the third party .... the other car or pedestrian you come into contact with.... or walls fences etc. You could modify your car to death and not tell insurance but in the instance of a collision your insurance would cover damage / injury to the third party. However, your vehicle repairs or payment for total loss would not be covered. I would also suggest if you have gap insurance then check with them too for mods. Hope this helps everyone. 👍
Stephen Golds You can, although some say you shouldn’t use it near alloys. Perhaps between the hub and the spacer but as you can see I chose not to use it. Most important is to ensure the face of the hub is clear. I’ll let you know if I have any issues!
Top Vid Jonny once again :D Fiesta is looking really good, does make me want a hot hatch the more I watch your material... I need to get the Monaro shifted. New house looks amazing also, congrats :)
Andy What would you like to see? Anything in particular? I’ve not given much thought to the interior. It’s already a nice place to be. I have added a wireless charger though 👍🏼
I noticed you were filing at an angle, also you can damage the end of the when filing. Can I suggest, if there is a next time you leave a nut on the stud use a flapper disc on a grinder to shorten the stud. Taking the nut off will clean the thread. Also copper grease would be advisable, on the brake disc face as the alloy face and brake disc face are dissimilar metals and when the brake disc corrodes it can stick to the aluminium. Other than that good work 👍. P. S. People beware to wide and you can catch your tyre on the wheel arch, any rubbing could cut into your tyre. 😳
Exuberant driving tends to go out the window when you fit spacers like this. Has your tyres hit your arches under compression ? Some people use negative camber but that causes other problems. Noticed any wheel bearing issues due to extra leverage/pressure created by using spacers? I learnt the hard way to stick to OEM specs unless you have a genuine reason to deviate from them.
Nice vid, though for my taste 20mm front and rear gives too much poke. Perhaps for me 15mm rear and 10 - 12 mm on the front if available. But thats just my personal pref. Great videos as always!
@@JBCTR Hi Johnny, didn't mean to be a downer on your vid. You mentioned that you've got something lined up for the slight poke - looking forward to it! 👍
Luca Id say turn in is not quite as sharp, but the car is far far more stable at speed and through high speed corners. No longer feels twitchy which is quite nice.
Hello bro good content just a quick question about your mk8. I have purchased the same kw spings and do want to purchase these spacers aswell. As i love the stance your fiesta had mate. I just wanted to know if you had any wheel arch scraping or steering issues with these. As im reading comments about 15mm for fronts and 20mm for rears. I did like the look of your fiesta mate. Just wanted to ask if 20mm is okay for front and rears before i purchase. Let us know if you can fella. Thanks
Hi, I want to fit these spacers to my mk8 st3. I'm abit of new comer to hot hatches. Have you found that these spacers have created any issues. I've heard they can cause tyre scrubbing and damage to bearings?
awesome video, awesome car!! just wondering if the spacers make much of a difference to how the drives ? does it corner better or will they just improve the look ? looking into buying some for my mk7 fiesta
Dan Evanson Thanks mate. You lose a bit of turn in, but the car feels more stable the rest of the time. That gain, plus the looks makes these a winner for me!
@@danevanson4223 read up 1st... Spacers alter the steering geometry, particularly the scrub radius. This can effect handling and also increase wear to the wheel bearings by exerting increased leverage forces. They do look good but at a cost.
Did your key for the Wheel locks came with your car or did you have to buy one, if yes where did you get it? Keep up the great work, greetings from Germany
Ordered my MK8 3 weeks ago. Cannot wait, October delivery date. I would like to fit these to mine, does it drive at all differently to stock? Love the videos, keep it up.
Nice man, what a difference. Out of interest how does this work with insurance in your case? Looking at doing similar sort of thing and everyone is shouting Greenlight Insurance :P
Surely any, or all of those upgrades/modifications (spacers, suspension, brakes, inter-cooler etc) you have performed would void your Ford New Car Warranty 🤷♂️
Hard to answer this to be honest as each modification has a different impact on the manufacturer warranty. For the most part, aftermarket parts have their own warranty, so if you are fully replacing the Ford part then you still have some form of warranty. In short, it's personal preference if you are willing to impact the manufacturers warranty or not.
USING SPACERS VOIDS WARANTE AND VOIDS CAR INSURANCE ! IN AN ACCIDENT YOU WILL BE FOUND NEGLEGENT AND PAY ALL FEES INCLUDING VULNERABLE TO PERSONAL INJURIES !!!!
In my country (Spain) if you put modifications in the card you can homologated them and they will be legal, and they will be incorporated in the technical data sheet of the car. I guess in other countries it will be the same.

Andrew Scott The car handled surprisingly well with these fitted. I did two track sessions with the spacers. I didn’t change the camber and they never caught the arches. Absolutely no issues to report. I’ve since changed to direct fitment alloys with a wider ET that provide a similar stance to this and the weight saving is very noticeable. 😎
I died at 5:34 😂😂😂

What about a bit of copperslip between the spacer, wheel and hub?
Stephen Golds You can, although some say you shouldn’t use it near alloys. Perhaps between the hub and the spacer but as you can see I chose not to use it. Most important is to ensure the face of the hub is clear. I’ll let you know if I have any issues!

No worries - glad you enjoyed it!

Michael Allen Replace the Monaro with a Fiesta? 😜 Loving the new place. Space to do stuff!
Well done on another decent video. Look forward to the next one this week 👍
Love these videos Jonny, keep them coming. Perhaps some interior mods?

well done

Great video yet again. They look fantastic!
adrian hurley Cheers Adrian 😬
great video, well explained, well filmed.
20mm rear ,15mm front ???
I wanna do that to mine but I'm thinking 10mm front
Quality video mannn biggg thumb up👍

Wat you on about you dipstick...
You do it on your car ?
Because I want to put 15mm and 12 but did you cut the studs ?? Or it ok ?
What did it change in the way you drive it? Is it more stiff? Are there any problems in the corners?
Luca Id say turn in is not quite as sharp, but the car is far far more stable at speed and through high speed corners. No longer feels twitchy which is quite nice.
Looks as wide as a focus from the front now,good job
Good video keep them coming mate following and subscribed 👍🏻

20mm on each side looks a little too much, 10mm or 15mm would look better in keeping the wheels flush to the arch. Looks good though!
Does this pass MOT? Not sure about the wheel and arch rules
Do you use the same or different wheel nuts for the wheel spacers?
Just subscribed to your channel! Great video's 👌❤
Georgina Sharples Brough Cheers Georgina 👌🏼
Good video!!! Car looks nice with the new stance!! will these spacer fit the same but on a 2018 st line X 140bhp fiesta ?
Hi, I want to fit these spacers to my mk8 st3. I'm abit of new comer to hot hatches. Have you found that these spacers have created any issues. I've heard they can cause tyre scrubbing and damage to bearings?
wondered if it would pass mot with the wheels projecting pass wheel arches
Could you use paint instead of chalk?.

Does they also fit in the ST-Line with 101ps?
any fiesta
Looks nice. Any rub on the fronts at full lock over bumps?
ST Bob Nope, nothing. Car is only lowered 20mm so nowhere near the arches 👍🏼
Did your key for the Wheel locks came with your car or did you have to buy one, if yes where did you get it? Keep up the great work, greetings from Germany
It came with the car. If you need to source one, I think it is possible from a Ford dealership.
Ordered my MK8 3 weeks ago. Cannot wait, October delivery date. I would like to fit these to mine, does it drive at all differently to stock? Love the videos, keep it up.
Yup, you lose a slight bit of turn in but in return the car feels much less twitchy at all times. The look and the stability make these worthwhile!
Are the spacer in the front 20mm?
Yup - 20mm all round.
Got away with 12.5mm all round with mine and had a j9 outset in the wheel
Off set
Is it okay if you need to grind down the hub bolts slightly?
Yup not a problem. Provided you don't grind them down too much, you can remove the spacers later. You can also replace the hub bolts if required.
Nice video!! Did you scratch after installation? Any problems? 😁😁😁
Thanks, no rubbing at all :)
@@JBCTR thanks dude
TheAbarthPunto no worries.
Nice man, what a difference. Out of interest how does this work with insurance in your case? Looking at doing similar sort of thing and everyone is shouting Greenlight Insurance :P
I'm on a modified policy, so just a case of telling them and they add it to the policy :D
Hi mate could you tell me where you purchased the wheel spacers from?Thank you.
Alistair Smyth SCC Performance. There’s a link in the description:)
@@JBCTR Many thanks
Sorry Jonny could you show me where to find the link please

How much are these spacers in mm in rear and front ?
Toast_Brot Theyre 20mm on each corner. So a total 40mm axle widening.
Do u need Tüv for this?
I don't live in Germany so I'm not sure, but I would expect you would. I would double check before purchasing.
Where are your discs from?
Scott Turner SCC Performance as part of their upgrade kit. I filmed a fitting video on them: th-cam.com/video/6elfZL9UTOs/w-d-xo.html

Hello.Tremors in the steering wheel? 🙄🇫🇷
Nico Flex Hey! No issues with steering. Double check that the wheels are flush with the spacers :)
Michelin pilot sport 4 😜🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁👍👍👍👍👍
Side of your car is gonna get very dirty with those spacers dude!
Chad Sexington That’s being taken care of 😆
Cue some serious scrubbing
No scrubbing in 6 months :D The car is on 20mm springs and this is safe enough.
...... And sleep....
So you do a video for the whole world to see ... But cant be bothered to use axle stands or even put a wheel under your car !!!
same intro music as AutoTopNL
The correct terminology is recess in the wheels...not indents
beter dont do it, couse u get loads of stones and shit on ur paint ;) and wheel arch edge
I never noticed any extra chips, but I added Rallyflapz to protect them.

Hello, what wheel size do you have? Because with 225/40/18 it hits the wheels on the fins by turning the steering wheel completely
