What is the MAX width spacer I can use with STANDARD VW bolts?
-
Get some hub-centric spacers. If you get some cheap nasty ones you will have some major high speed juddering.
If you value your life buy new bolts no matter what mm you gain!
Take out a bolt on your wheel and see how much actually holds the wheel on!

Im just looking around atm, cos rallydesigns have some cheap pnes for like £20 including bolts aswell! not bad.

Much better to pay more for spacers to be honest.

I'll get spacers for the rear eventually, but that's at the bottom of my list of things to do as you know :wink:
-
rears are alright in my eyes, im looking at some spacers for the front.

yeah they do look good, nice one wayne.
I'l have to pass due to low funds and other things I need to prioritise, but when it comes round to spacers, I'l probably choose these ones.

dont worry i wouldnt buy from halfords :grin: only thing i buy from them sometimes is servicing parts and bulbs.
-
the ones in halfords are just like washers, and you buy longer bolts i think.
The ones that were linked on here bolt to the hub, then you bolt the wheel to them, far stronger.
Guy in halfords probs bolted them on tight, and then ragged it about
