Best wheel spacers/sizes
« on: 27 June 2013, 07:29 »
Got a 8v gti on 15inch bbs alloys with coil overs looking to bring the wheels out - any ideas on spacer size or spacer supplier?

Venom Motorsport have a very good range of spacers, and are a pretty good price too.  No I don't work for them...

As for size, thats dependant on how low it is, as the wheel could come into contact with the arch if you fitted too wide a spacer.

10-15mm is quite a safe bet, but remember to always buys spacers with longer bolts.

On spacers, is the front naturally wider than the rear, I did some measuring and the front seemed further out already. How much of a look would 10mm spacers give on both the rears or will it not be noticeable and/or worth it
