Title: what size spacers do I need
Post by: gazbutmk5gti on 09 June 2013, 21:34

Looking for a bit of advice fellas, I've lowered my Bora TDI daily about 35mm on coilovers on 17" santa monica's and love the look but it needs some spacers to fill the arches, was thinking 15mm rear and 10mm up front but looking for suggestions on sizes :smiley:

15mm and 20mm will look ok with a 6.5J rim but still won't be perfect, mine are 8J and ET35 with those spacers and still aren't perfect:
