spacers for v8 vantage

Has anyone done this? I'm looking to give it a wider stance to fill out the wheel wells a bit... what size and where are they available?
thx

I have some on order w/ RSC ... I gave them some new dimensions to get the wider stance (16 & 20 mm) we are working on the new bolts and then will do the install. I'll keep ya posted, figure should be done in 2 weeks or so.
BTW - you will also notice a better feel as the car will track better too. I just did this on my wife's Cayman S and she could not believe the difference ... I tell folks this and they think I'm crazy ... until they feel the "before and after".

I did it on my Porsche c4s and not only did it look great it made a HUGE handling difference. I have the ECU, cats, exhaust from RSC, they're great. Do you know what the cost is?

I have a couple of boxes of studs now.

Eddie at AR made some for my fronts, he might be able to offer some advise if you need it. If you come up with a better solution, let us know.

Love to get the spacers, but I would like the studs to match the current OEM ones I have now.

spacers on AM Vantage

I've been told you can go to 10mm keeping everything stock, RSC has them. If you wanna go wider then you'll have that problem.

I have 10mm spacers and the stock studs are not long enough. You were not told correct info.
