I know, not exactly rolling 21's - but I think that the wagon would sit better if the wheels were not so far into the arches. Just a subtle tweak that would please my eye.

I love the 16's ride quality and comfort and the pre facelift look and dont want to change them.

Can anyone advise if fitting spacers would be ok and what sort of width might work please?

Hi

Spacers are no problem, I always use H&R as they are the best

In order to work out how thick you need to measure the distance from the front edge of the tyre to the inside of the wheel arch so put a straight edge down the tyre then measure to the inside of the arch, this will give you the distance.

Spacer wise if using 20mm or greater then use DRA (Bolt on) Spacers so the Spacer bolts to the wheel hub and the wheel bolts to the Spacer
