Title: NSQBBK Scirocco Interlargos spacer size
Post by: wrlcs on July 29, 2014, 04:23:41 pm

Hi,

I'm going to add a NSQBBK to my 2009 Scirocco and I am interested to know what size of spacer if any is required to fit the calipers behing Scirocco Interlargos wheels.  I've got the calipers and would assess at least a 5 mm but it would be good to have some proper information.

Thanks,

Brendan

I have no answer to your question but if a 3mm spacer isn't enough then don't use a 5mm spacer as your likely to be plagued with wheel wobble because those spacers aren't hub centric.
You can get a 8mm and thicker H&R true hubcentric spacer to avoid wheel wobble.

Thank you for the advice, I will add spacers to the list of parts needed for the NSQBBK.

Regards,

Brendan
