A3 ET54 Wheels with spacers?

[czm]

I have got my hands on some mint A3 sline OEM alloys - I noticed that they are ET54 so I assume they will fit but sink into the arches ALOT!!

Beofre I go and spend money on tyres, coudl somebody tell me if:
1) They will fit?
2) If I got 20mm spacers the ET would be reduced to 34 hence no issues and look better.

As long as they're later A3 wheels with 5x112 fitment and you don't mind running such big spacers they should be ok.

I run those ET 54 wheels with 15mm spacers upfront and 20mm on backs.

But I'm about to put the 20's on front and get 25mm for backs. Just to nudge them out a little more.

Thanks guys.
kris, have you got any rear/front shot?

also what tyre size

Only now had chance to take a pic.
Dreadful iphone pic in dark of the front.
Will take better ones tomorrow!!

As you can kind of see, could still do with another 5mm..

Great thanks m8.
what spacers are you going for. 25mm all round?
Where are you getting them from, is it best to get a certain make to avoid vibration issues?

 

[krisavant]

Going for 20mm front & 25mm rear.
I like the alloy hubcentric spacers, nice and light.

Don't get any vibrations from the alloy ones I have now.

Don't forget you need the radius bolts for original alloys and not tapered.

Anyone know if these will fit?

I cant see any reason why not?
