Think my mates got 12mm spacers with his standard RS4 black edition wheels and it sits nicely! Will check and find some pics when I'm at my PC

Fly next Thursday, back Wednesday 9th March so most likely pick them up that weekend  :smiley:

Cheers - I've looked at some with 12mm but think its a little too close for comfort for any potential rubbing issues  :undecided:

My mate went for 10mm front spacers I think, and in combination with lowering it, he had front rubbing, don't think he said anything about the rear causing problems!

Unless your planning on lowering..  :grin: :Afro:

Wheels dropped off for refurb this morning; will see them in 3 weeks  :sad:

Got an annoying vibration at around 70mph which increases  :sad:  I've swapped the wheels back to front, had all the wheels balanced and made sure the pressures are ok but its still there so I'm a little stumped  :undecided: 

Didn't have the vibration with the old wheels on so i'm hoping it might be the winter tyres otherwise it could be a wheel bearing  :undecided:  Will be pissed if it is as its got less than 28K on the clock

On a happier note, gave it a good clean inside and out so it doesn't look like winter has pissed all over it!!

10mm H&R spacers arrived whilst I was on holiday and my wheels are ready for collection  :cool:

Roll on Saturday  :smiley:

Oh and just to piss off dan_apps I bought a set of the sunshades like I had on the Golf  :grin: :grin:

Yeah i'm well pleased with them.  They don't look quite as dark in the flesh as the camera makes them out to be  :smiley:  Even the missus likes the colour  :shocked:
