If you fit equal spacers at the front your wheels will be ET35 (ET51 -> ET35). Are you sure they won't rub the front wings then? :thinking:

I had 8" wheels on my old MK5 which were ET35 and it was lowered over 40mm. you will need to roll the front arches if you don't want any rubbing.

roght is better get the garage to roll them up before they paint the front end so more costs involved :doh:

Guys...... You're all missing the point that R5's R32 wheels are 7.5" wide. No issues whatsoever spacing these by 15/16mm.
At least I THINK they're 7.5".....
Someone will confirm it, I'm sure

They're 7,5'' wide, yes. They'll poke out 3,7 mm more than mine. They can rub under hard cornering.
r5gtt:
ET51 7.5 wide lol
I am a little worried AJP as the H&R might me close when fitted :thinking:
Can't remember what drop they are now so will have to ask the seller m
