go to www.pumaspeed.co.uk and in the mk6 Fez section and at the bottom of the page there should be FRP (Ford Racing Puma) wheel spacers for the rear. they are essentially cheap. they bring the rear out about 10mm. the front im not so sure about.

Just remember that spacers are illegal in Australia, and as such WILL void your insurance.

"They arent legal in any state that im aware of due to the fact that the weight of the car is moved along the stud and maximize the chances of sheering the studs off."
But has that ever happened??

Usually it happens because people buy cheap spacers and retain the original stud. This is why Spacers are no only illegal if NOT O.E, so you can get a car with spacers being legal. Eibach kits come with replacement high strength studs that shouldn't break but will still be illegal.
