if you go for 5 mm ones it leaves about 5 mm of hub left ,  a firm on ebay will make you a tapered spigot ring so the wheel will still locate on to said ring and hub , its not brilliant but it does work  :happy2: 

Cheers for that Candy do you know the name of the company, its got to be worth investigating.  :smiley:
spigot rings uk , they are in bradford  01274 524666   , you need 57.1 dia 5 mm wide  with 45 deg taper :happy2:

Cheers bud. i am guessing then these are what MR Danza is kindly lending me.  :happy2:

no , they are the spacers with the taper to fit the hub (make sure you fit them the right way round ) these rings fit on after the spacer to match the profile of the back of the wheel !   if that makes scence ??? :confused:

Ah i think i know what you mean now my TD's have a plastic spigot ring with them, so your saying the spacer would not be VAG group specific like the TD's wheels are not and fitting this would give a better contact area between the wheel and the spacer.  :rolleye:
