clarification on rear wheel spacers required , axle hubs differ.

[Charlie Farley]

I'm in the proccess of ordering some wheel spacers but i'm a little perplexed with getting the correct spacers for the rear of my avant.
I've been out and had a good old session with my measure etc and 15mm are too much and the tyre will rub the arches, 12 or 13mm would be better but still a bit close, but 8-10mm is probably a good choice, but , i cant find any that will fit my avant.
the spigot is exactly 13mm , but having spoken to numerous sellers there does appear to be differing spec hubs on A4 B7's all with different depth spigots.
would be nice if i could get a deffo answer to this , maybe i could then order some up.

just to be clear,2.0tfsi quattro avant special edition (V1) with the dtm alloys fitted, 13mm spigot depth, if by somechance someone has fitted 10mm or thereabout rear spacers succsefully to a similar A4 , drop me a line if possible.

I'm sure i read on here that someone had cut down some of the protruding hub centre bit in order to get some 10mm spacers to fit. Can't remember who it was now...

i can get 15mm spacer on ok, but tyres rub the inner arch.
are they 2 or 4 wd, i do know thus far that the rear hub spigots on 2wd are different to the 4wd .

Speak with Taper Pro, who produce TPI hubcentric spacers and bolts (with lockers).You should use longer bolts with spacers over 5mm. 10mm spacers need 10mm longer bolts. The 12+mm TPI spacers actually have a hubcentric spigot on the outside to centralise the wheel, so only the spacer sits on the hub spigot.
