Biggest spacers for my setup?

[Toxik-Signal]

Hey all, I've got 18x8 wheels and I want to put some spacers on the rear wheels, what's the biggest that I can legally go [the wheels need to stay within the arches].
I was thinking about getting 10mm spacers for the rear wheels, would this be ok?

Grab a ruler and measure on the car how far you need to push the wheels out. Put the details of the standard wheels and new wheels into this calculator. Remove the overall offset as you add spacer size to get the required size.

What offset are the wheels?

Is it an S3 or A3?

Is it an S3 or A3

Is there a difference? does the s3 have a wider wheel base?

S3 has wider wheel arches.

It's an A3 mate, I think the offset of the wheels are 35 if that's any help?

 

[DPM]

Most likely around 10mm mate, this would take the wheels to an ET25 which is quite far out.

Depends what look you're going for though and what it's dropped by.

Thanks for the feedback Damian, I'll give you a call and place an order when I next get paid (running a bit low on funds for this month now)
