Title: Rear spacers poll
Post by: pipston on July 22, 2011, 03:19:32 pm

gonna get some rear spacers to improve the stance. not fussed about the front, just want that "wide" look from the back, what is the most people have safely gone to without causing issues, will be hubcentric obviously.

car is just used a daily drive and a bit of "fast road"  :driver:

are they standard wheels, what width and offset are they?

My 7.5J ET54 Audi splits sit exactly the same in the arch when using 15mm spacers as my old 8J ET45’s

10mm looks good with standard ET51 wheels.

I've got 10mm with standard 18" wheels. To be honest I think it could take 15mm easily.
