    I'm running forge hubcentric 11mm on the front and 15mm on the rears.

    Gives enough clearance for Brembo's, aesthetically spot on for the wheel Arches and handles nicely too.

    Depends what wheels you are running and what offsets? I'm currently running ET32 18x8 BBS RC's with 10mF and 15mmR spacers.

    My car is low so it has produced alot of camber on the rear. I used to have 20mm on the back but it was still hiding in the arch because of the camber. I'm running 30mm on rear and 20mm on front. They're H&R Trak+ hubcentric spacers, very light indeed! The 30mm on the back is spot on now, the top of the wheel would sit in line with the arch if it wasn't for so much camber. I'm not spending all that money on adjustable tie bars plus i like a bit of camber!!

    The spacers are on the car with the OZ's and the standard S3 Avus wheels and sits perfect.

    To get them about flush I'd go for 10mm front and 20mm rear on standard wheels.
