Title: rs8 alloys spacer help
Post by: puzzled on 31 August 2012, 16:53

does any body know what mm spacers to use with rs8 alloys

http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/t/271052.aspx

to make them look flush with the arch ?

all depends on the offset of the wheel and width.

If they are ET35 8J you could probably have 20mm rear 10mm front. Although to play it safe I went for 5mm front 15mm rear keeping the tyres away from the arch by about 2-3mm

you need at least 5mm spacers on the front whatever happens then, same with most coilovers
