Hello
I guess this i a rather specific question, but some of you guys have been through your share of rims with different "stances".

i got
8x5x19 et45 rs6-2 reps ( yeye, i know.. )
225.35.19 falken tires
H&R 35mm springs

i like the "stance" at the front, but i realize that i have to space out the back a bit.. But how much? 5mm? 10mm?

Thank you for your time :beerchug:

If your just doing the back then I'd say go for 10mm either side.

Since i got 225/35/19 tires will it rub like hell when i got people in the backseat?

With 10mm you should be ok but you may need to replace the corner bumper screws with ones with a smaller head.

10mm will sit you wheels level with the arch if that's what your after.

Rather than starting up a new thread with the same title (and since you have received your answer), I will post my question.

I'm about to order some H&R spacers for my S3.
10mm front, 12mm back.

Are these the right ones (just want to double check)?
Rears (12mm)
Audi A3 Quattro 2.0T > Wheels > Spacers > ES#5109 DR Series Wheel Spacer - 12mm (1 Pair) - 2455571

Fronts (10mm)
Audi A3 Quattro 2.0T > Wheels > Spacers > ES#8812 H&R DR Series Wheel Spacer - 10mm (1 Pair) - 202555712

Also, what size bolts do I now need?

Buy hubcentric spacers marpou, much safer and better. But bewarned i bought some that were meant to be 10mm off ebay and they were actually 12mm, so i bought some proper ones from DPM

I can vouch for these personally, despite the picture, they are powder coated black

eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

There's a few people on other forums that have these also.

I suppose these things do happen. Ebay businesses can be a bit crap!

As long as you wern't out of pocket.
