Personaly I would not fit spacers as they can put extra strain on wheel bearings and will put your insurance up, 2013 FL2 XS.

I ran hub centric aluminum custom models in 3/16" on a previous vehicle without any additional wear and tear but in Canada, that does not cause insurance issues. The UK has a ton of rules and restrictions compared to God's Country |

Look out for some Evoque 18" rims instead? They have an extra 10mm of offset, fills the arches nicely with a 255/60/R18 AT tyre

No restrictions for using spacers here as long as they don’t put the wheels/tyres further out than the bodywork, it is the EU/Germany/Norway type countries that have the strict restrictions on modifications and need to be approved. And of course it is always worth telling your insurance company about ANY modification, or if the worst happens you never know how particular the engineer/insurance company will be if an inspection is requested.

Agree, try the search facility, it works well, it's just laziness not doing a search. I have 255/60R18 without spacers & plenty of photos of the clearance.

I wanted 17" rims but the car came with 18" & LR wouldn't swap them.

Using the search facility is all well and good, but you will then miss any new information about software updates, upgraded parts, receive info on discontinued products and recommendations for out of business suppliers.

I run (as I'm sure most of you already know by now and thus are bored to tears of hearing it ) 265/60/18's on Evoque rims. Coupled with a 40mm/50mm lift and 25mm hubcentric spacers. I've run this set-up for 3 years now (tyres 2 1/2 years) with no adverse problems so far.
