Anyone running 20mm spacers?

[Defratos]

Hey guys anyone running 20mm on their S3? just curiouse to see how the drive is.

That's some big width! The only thing i've know is 20mm adaptors which would be pretty similar i imagine, the customer said it was fine.

what's the difference between 20mm adaptors and 20mm spacers?

I've got 15mm spacers on all wheels (front&rear). It looks like this is about max for the car. Already I see that because the wheels are more outside the car, the paintwork suffers because of chipping in the arches...

 

[Defratos]

got any pics of 15mm all over?

I wouldnt like to use that wide spacers in front but i need to because there is not enough clearance with those CH´s and my Porsche calipers.

they look v.nice mate, what make? and did you have to measure up your old bolts to get new sized ones? or are they supplied with the spacers?

Rear one´s are from Powertech and fronts are custom made. I used 20mm longer bolts and shortened those ones for front wheels about 8mm.

cool, sweet cheers once again. P.s. Do u find any probelms with running 20mm rear (in the way of scrubbing on the wheels) when going over bumps or other things?

We can do you some H&R ones if your after some mate!

No there is no scrubbing even at track on heavy cornering. In front I think that 10mm is enough because then wheel is same level than car body. Now i got my wheel few mm´s over...
My wheels are 8.5" wide ET35.

How much would a set of 20mm rear and 10mm front cost? and how do I go about getting the right bolts?

Sounds good mate, I think I'm going for the 20, 10 setup
