I've just got some Audi Pepperspots 15" need
wheel spacers just wondered what sizes as
not 100% sure got standered brakes all advice
welcome cheers
-
why do you need spacers for?? my advice would be buy some nicer wheels pepper pots are just too small
-
There slighty rubbing on carrier and I like um.
-
in which case you could probly get away with a 3 mm spacer and use the existing bolts

How can they be too small, same size as yours 15"
I never had any problems fitting them.

If they are 15" you should have 205/50 tyres to keep the same rolling radius.

Fail, early spec cars had 195/50/15's and you can run them on later cars with no problems, cheaper and easier to find.

205/50 tyres will look crap. End of story.
15inch wheels came on these cars form the factory. Think VW knew what they were doing.
Get a 3mm spacer, you wont need any new bolts, use the orignal ones, that will clear it from the carrier.
As for tyres, fit whatever you like and can afford, but going for a lower profile, maybe a 195/45 will make them look a lot better, and will only affect your speedo by a few mph, which doesnt really matter as speed cameras have a tollerance, and you will also know that your speedo is slightly out.

I got a pair of 3mm spacers for sale if you need :smug:

Yea the Audi pepperotts do look nice. i was thinking about some but never got round to it,
similar to mine, ive got 15" Ronal turbos on 195/45 and they run fine although my car is slammed and could do with bigger tyres because its too close to the ground, but the wheels never rub,
but id say go 10mm on the rears :wink: Wideeee !
