I've been looking at the rear of my car recently and thinking the wheels could come out to meet the arches a bit.

Not the front so much. But def the rears. I know Albatross has spacers all round, and Bob Dent has much wider wheels on the back to fill the rear wheel arch a bit ( a lot ) i guess. Does improve appearance imho. But no personal experience. They do seem very pricey for what they are.

They do put slightly extra load on some running parts like bearings.
I ran some many years ago, because the front wheels i had needed to be spaced out from the suspension etc.
If you decide to have some, let me know, bcause my mate has a spares shop & i have a trade account. Some items i get 50/60% off, but i'll have to ask ;) I could post them to you & it could save you a few quid :y

I got wheel spacer on mine 25mm per conrer on back and done 21mm for front but never use them no room on front, but if you going to use wheels from WWD you need spacer to car looks right.
wheel spacer cost me 120£ ish ( inc. longer bolt)+ post from poland
whan i was looking to buy spacer find only H&R where they more then 200£ on UK market

what about these  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hubcentric-Wheel-Spacers-Vauxhall-Astra-G_W0QQitemZ330343706124QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item4cea04ee0c

i know there listed for an astra but the pdc is the same but you would need to check on the center bore.    I have the same make spacers fitted to the rear of mine and had no problems with them in the 18months they've been on.
