Hi all,

Currently already got the 15mm rear spacers fitted and it scrapes pretty bad if I've got someone in the back of the car (S-line with standard 18s)

If I've got Eibachs fitted I'm guessing I'd need to get smaller spacers even though the springs are stiffer? Any advice/recommendations would be greatly appreciated :)

I got 11's on the back of my sportback and no rubbing at all with rear passengers. I have trimmed the tab tho. Think you can get away with 12's aswell :)

Really that's worrying as I nearly just bought 50mm springs and 15mm spacers!
 
The rear of the A3 8P depending on the wheels can usually only take a maximum 12mm/13mm spacer without any rubbing and even then you're on the limit.

Pop a sticker on the window "No fat lasses". Sorted.

Think the girlfriend may take offence! Although, no girlfriend = no rubbing (in more ways than one?)

It depends on the ET of the wheel I'm running 10mm front and rear no rubbing only occasionally
 
I have done 30mm spacer with standard 7.5J ET54 sline's on the rear and it was jus rubbing with 3/4 people !

Not sure how 15mm rubs on standard wheels?
