wolverine: I can vouch for 5mm, i had to get these as my alloys wudnt fit without them because of the coilovers on front. Been using them for nearly 3 months now and nothing to complain about and im using standard nuts.

I only put 5mm on rear too. Didnt need to as therear coilover setup is different and theres much more room for the alloys and tyres but with only 5mm on it does sit quite flush with the arch lining if im honest. The alloy width might have summit to do with it but not sure what they are. 8" maybe? not sure. Gen RS6's.

Think thats alright. Last time i bought standard bolts from VW new i think i was about £1.05 per bolt? That was 2 years ago so might be different now with VAT etc and VW continuously increasing their prices. Know what mate i foned and asked for a price for a 4mo front Valance/Splitter the other month and they said £88 inc VAT. It was only £53 inc VAT just before we got all that snow!
