Finally got round to installing 15mm spacers all round at the weekend
Thought I would share before and after image for anyone interested in this discreet modification

Yes easy to do. I used Eibach pro spacer system 4 in black. These are hub centric so self locate onto the hub making them the easiest and safest solution.
There are various sources on the internet, just be sure to source the correct part numbers. The manufacturers website helps with this.

Eibach Pro-Spacer 15mm Wheel Spacers S90-4-15-005-B are the ones I purchased
Eibach can supply direct or there are other sources ie eBay etc
I also applied a very thin layer of copper slip between the spacer, hub and the wheel to help prevent it seizing together

I assume you do this for the 'looks' . Dit you consider the effect it has on wheel geometry and handling,
other then ' looking butch ' . Spacers are 'old school' from te era of the 'pony cars ' . With modern cars
increasing track with with 3 cm from around 160cm , doe not let it go faster through corners. Since the
geometry is disturbed, I guess it could likely even be slower.

As long as you realize that, its OK. Did you check with your insurance ? In the Netherlands this is a
reason why insurances reject claims. The car does not comply with the type approval. Strictly speaking
you need to get an approval for this track width.. ... and I am not joking.
Best is you check with your insurance or relevant authorities. It might be different in the UK. I think
to remember that max. 20mm per side is allowed in the USA, but this can be changed in the mean time.
