Title: Anyone running 15mm rear spacers?
Post by: dom on 26 September 2013, 07:20: As per title, I'm looking to change my rear 20mm spacers for 15mm. I'm already running 15mm on the front and tried them on the rear but they don't sit flush with the hub, I had the same issue on my mk3.

Anyone got a link to, or brand of any 15mm spacers that fit on the rear?

Post by: km on 30 September 2013, 19:59: am i missing something here? spacers that fit the front but not rear?

I previously ran 15mm spacers on the front with no problems.

but swapped them for 20mm and used the 15mm for the rear when i put new set of wheels on.

And now i've got steering wheel wobble.
