alrite guys and gals,how r we? Ive recently slammed my mkIII Gti 8v 60mm on Fk coilovers.handles superbly,do u think it will be wise to get some wheel spacers and crank it down to 70mm,if so any ideas where to get the spacers? :rolleyes:

If you do decide to get spacers make sure you get specific ones to suit your car with correct hole size and PCD etc.
Dont buy "universal" ones - they will give you wheel balancing problems.

i got some wheel spacers off german ebay, they took a while to get here but well worth the wait, hubecentric which means the wheels are dead central as what len was on about (universal ones are sh!te... dont even go there!) mine are 15mm per wheel they space me current wheels out well nice on me mk4 (same stud pattern as yours) but youll need to get longer wheel bolts etc to suit also, bare this in mind when you cost it all up

mine were £30 the pair for alloy hubcentric 15mm spacers
then it cost me £45 for longer wheel bolts.. that included a set of locking wheel bolts too,, bare this in mind when you price it all up!!!

might be seliin my spacers and bolts if iget some diffo wheels so if you want any let me know

 :cool:

www.trackstore.co.uk

They sell 15mm hubcentric's for £28 inc longer bolts etc (4x100)

Not sure if they list them on the web-site yet, but give them a ring ;)
