New springs on..do I need spacers?

Now that I have had the new H&R springs on for a few weeks, I think spacers may fill out the wheel wells a little. Any suggestions? For now I am keeping the original wheels.

i put H&R springs on my C4, and considered wheel spacers. if i had kept the car, i definitely would have put some on. i think they really make the car look nice by filling out the wheel wells better!

The ride height looks great Andy...I'd put spacers on just by the picture. I've got them on my car and they look terrific. I put them on in the front to bring the wheel out to better match the 295's in the rear.

What size spacers did you put on?

Yes, spacers would help.

You can use the 5mm spacers from Prosche. The kit comes complete with 4-5mm spacers and longer bolts and new longer lock bolts. I have a new set that I never installed because I got new wheels instead. Let me know if you would want them for a fair price. Thanks
