Morning guys.Just wanted to know what size spacers you guys are using on your s3's and where's the best place to get them from?
 
I haven't got any, but i've heard 10mm up front (20mm wider track) and 15 mm rear (30 mm wider track). I'm guessing thats on standard 17 Avus'. Depends what wheels you've got on
 
I'm running H&R spacers, 10mm up front and 15mm rear with OEM 18" RSTT's. Doesn't rub and looks miles better :)

Hey Kam

Hope you are well mate...

I think Damian sells them DPM Performance.

Send him a PM.
 
I've got 10mm at front and 15mm rear, wish I'd gone bigger at the rear as I have standard alloys they could do with it. I spotted a steal on ebay and got all 4 spacers for £25! :)

why the hell are they sooo exspensive??? It might just be me but I really cant justify £74 for TWO bits of metal shims. I love the look dont get me wrong but the price for it is very unreasonable.

Has any one been able to get a rock bottom price for hub centric 15mm n 20mm spacers?

This is why It took me so long to get any because they are very expensive. One day I spotted a company on ebay who were clearing out old gear and they got rid of loads of black anodised spacers with no reserve and a £1 starting bid. I picked up all 4 for £25 but then had to pay a further £40 for longer wheel bolts so I only saved a small amount. There are some deals to be had, you just have to keep an eye out.
 
I'm hoping my dad will sort me out with longer bolts as he works for TMS. Doesnt make things cheaper for me though as most stuff they sell is all the crap and u know uv got to have the nothing but the best on ur our baby's.

I'm never lucky enough to catch good deals.... infact sometimes i wonder why I got an Audi with my luck :ermm: lol

Cheers Westle! Ill be keepin my eyes out! I'll have too coz I just picked up my new wheels and there getting booked in to get gloss blacked :sly: 18" RSTT WOOO!!!!!
 
Word of advice, do not get fk spacers, I had fk spacers in the rear of my a3 they were 13.5mm I think. I had my tyres changed last week and they noticed that the spacer had sheered between the main body of the spacer and the tapered bit that transfers the load:scared2::faint:. We took them of and inspected them, from wht we could make out they make the main bodys in bulk and then press the tapered part into it depending on centre bore sizes, I bought some H&R ones there and then, Having them side by side really showed the difference in quality, ther h&r was a solid piece, At the end of the day lads that spacer is transferring all the wieght onto the hub instead of putting in all on the wheel studs, Wheel spacers in future will be one thing I wont be buying cheap.:icon_thumright:
 
When you guys say 20mm front is that per axle (2 x 10mm spacers) or 20mm on each hub?

Well said - buy cheap, buy twice. My H&R ones still look like new (remember, you can see them behind the rims) even after two years of use.
