Ok so i purchased my golf brand new and all seemed well..... around 8 months down the line i decided i wanted a wheel slightly wider, so instead of buying a new set i decided i would buy some spacers 15mm fronts and 25mm rears for a flusb fitment as the website stated, and see how that worked out and save for the set of wheels that i wanted.
Unfortunately this is when the trouble started, immediately i noticed between about 70mph and 80mph theres was a shuddering, it was hardly noticeable but too me who drives it every day it was clearly there. Not through the steering wheel but through the car itself. So i blamed it on the spacers fitting poorly and chucked them off and everything was perfect again.
A month later i decided it was time too change the wheels so i was maticulous with my approach and had the dealer order my wheels brand new tyres valves the job lot. I then had the same people fit the tyres balance them and then had allignment. The wheels i purchased where 19x8.
So i took the car out for the first time and the shuddering that occured when i fit the spacers had now become so bad it ruined the car it was uncomfortable and unsafe.
Many arguements later we decided to call it a day and put my old wheels back on and luckily i only suffered the fitting costs. The next weekend i decided to give it one more try, a freind of mine had some wheels in his shop perfect for the car now this are wider and staggered rotiform tmbs so yet again we loaded it up with brand new tyres balanced wheel allignment the lot, i was getting to around 40 and the car felt worse than the last set!
So yet again i put my old wheels back on and everything was absolutely fine. Somone help 😧
