Spacers on genuine rotors

[forty3]

Thanks to new 3rd party image hosting rules most of the old threads about wheel spacers are no longer very helpful.

I'm wondering what size spacers look decent but also don't give rise to any rubbing issues under load or if I end up lowering in the future

I'm running standard 19" rotors with 255/35/19 Goodyear tyres.

I'm running standard 19" rotors with 255/35/19 Goodyear tyres.

I previously ran 10mm front, 15mm rear on my A4, car was lowered 35mm with rotors no rubbing and a nice flush look all round.

I had 10mm on 8.5x19 et43 with 255/35/19 Dunlop and had rubbing on the rear, swapped to pilot sport 3 and had a few mm clearence. It all depends how wide goodyears run, which I have no experience of.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Not sure if this makes any difference but my car is an avant.

It'll be the same flush look as the Saloon with 10/15mm.

Hopefully they turn up quickly as hoping to fit a complete RS4 brake setup on Wednesday so will be an ideal time. Got a busy couple of weeks after that so fingers crossed.

Pics to follow.......

Would you be able to offer the link to where you purchased the spacers, looking to get 10/15mm set myself?

Thanks

Got them from eBay although the 10mm ones have gone up by £20 since I bought them.

Was looking at a set of these myself but was concerned about the supplied bolts being tapered rather than radius fit. The rotors have the radius head bolts and these spacers appear to come with tapered head bolts. Weird because the listing says they are radius a but the picture doesn't show radius bolts. Not a huge issue I guess but would be nice to have them with radius bolts. Can you fill us in as to whether the bolts are radius bolts? Looks damn good on the car mate.

I'm sure I read that you can have either taper or radius bolts supplied, just mention it in the comments box when you order although reading through the eBay advert this doesn't seem to be the case.

I was supplied with the correct bolts to suit my standard wheels without asking although might be worth sending a message prior to purchasing.
