Title: Spacers????? Help!!
Post by: bigmarky on 29 January 2012, 23:02

Right since I'm new to the whole Dub scene, I'm about to get a Mk 4 Golf and am interested in sticking some spacers on to make the wide euro look, is this as easy as buying and fitting spacers or is it a bigger job and what spacer sizes are best to get ???

Dont get the cheap sh!tty ones from Halfrauds or Sgt Bilko's Motosave
You want hub centric ones and if you going more than 5mm per side you will need longer wheel bolts

So basically as long as I get longer bolts and good spacers I'm sound?? Any recommendations on spacer width without fouling any part of the car?

All depends on the wheels you have or are planning on getting plus ride height etc.

All depends on wheel size/offset, tyre profile/width, how low you are running and the overall look your after.

And you won't get hubcentric below 10mm
