Didn’t feel the need for spacers ... not really worth the 3/5mm ... not sure you’d notice to be honest

I am ordering a set of BBS VZ for the car. Going to have them on in January. Just wondering about spacer options. Currently on 18” Monza with 10mm spacers all round. Gives me an effective ET of 41mm. The VZ are 8 inch rims with ET of 44mm so just wondering what I will get away with. Will 3mm front and 5mm rear work? Also opinions on colour would be appreciated. Leaning toward Satin Antracite at the momentRemember the Monzas are 7.5 wide. So if you're wanting to achieve the same poke/fitment with the 8 wide VZs, you won't actually need spacers.

I've got the VZ in silver. Look great and they're a nice flush fit. You won't want any more poke (especially if you are or plan to go lower) unless you want to start playing with the arches.

I have the same Wheels on my gti ...’went for silver to stay classy , but it’s just a personal choice really :happy2:Yeah I was thinking the same in relation to colour. What colour is your car? Think that is a factor to be considered

As for colour, mine's Tornado and I think I made the right choice going for silver. It's all personal preference of course!

If you end up selling your 10mm spacers give me shout as I'm on the look out for a set, now I've installed my Eibach SportlinesWill do. They are Eibach spacers. Got them when ordering the springs

Where are you guys getting your VZs from? I don’t think BBS make them anymore?
