10mm spacers
« on: November 05, 2008, 03:10:46 pm »
Hi Guys,

Some of you may already know that i have been looking into getting some 10mm hub centric spacers made for the MKV Golf.  Now i know some of you have already purchased the Eibach's at about £60 / £70 for the pair.  What i would like to know is if 10mm is the right size to have.  As these are being made to order by my supplier would 11mm or whatever be better?  I already have a price of about £40 for the pair (inc bolts) but this may change depending on the $ rate and exact size i go for.

Any comments or thoughts let me know as i can still change anything.....

Are the eibach kits 15mm per wheel / 30mm per axle?

So are we saying 10mm or 12mm?????? 

I will be signing the order off tomorrow so i expect to get them just after christmas.  dont worry about payment or anything untill they arrive and you are ready to go ahead.  I will confirm the price once they leave but £40 is probably tops.

I will get this moved to the sale section once the size issue is sorted.

Just a thought, would people prefer black or silver bolts??

If 12mm dont cause any problems then i personally would plump for them, but 10mm will do for me i dont think i will be lying awake in bed at night thinking i wish i had gone for the extra 2mm. so i am happy with either, as far as the bolts go surely you cant go wrong with the same colour as they are now.

Put my name down for a set  :smiley:
