wheel spacers

[polsonm87]

hi all,

just bought myself some new wheels and lowering springs on the S3 but am wanting to add some spacers,

would 15mm on the back and 10mm on the front be ok?
do i need hubcentric spacers?
do i need longer wheel bolts?
can anyone recommend me some spacers?

cheers

15mm back and 10mm front is a popular choice....Hubcentrics are a must and save a lot of hassle, longer wheel bolts will def be requiered.

what are you wheel dimensions? Diameter, Width, Offset?

I have 20 rear and 15 front but yet to be lowered and i got the kit from the TT shop

wheels are 18x8's et 35, cheers for the help

in which case 15 front and 20 rear would be spot on i think, would fill your arches well. With that spacing you would want to get hub centric spacers. Not sure about the wheel bolts though, maybe, maybe not...??

 

[s3 man]

i also have the same size wheels as you and im going 15 or 20 on front and 30 on the back

 

[s3dave]

30 on the back.....jesus.....them bolts will be hanging on for dear life.......lol

 

[s3 man]

good job its the hubcentric ones im getting lol

 

[s3dave]

My rim of the tyre is very close to the arch with 20mm on et35.....you will have to get around 70mm wheel bolts for 30mm
