question about spacers...

[vw_golf_nutter]

i want to keep my original alloys and plan to lower the car eventually but think the wheels need to come out a bit to fit the arches better.
what size spacers would i be looking for so i can safely use the original bolts? or do i have to buy new bolts? if so what size do i look for?
thanks

Any spacer bigger then5mm will need bigger bolts. Get hubcentric spacers as ther safer

[AcidicDavey]

Get it lowered and then get the measurements, at least hubcentric spacers and extended wheel bolts are easy to get hold of for these cars!

That needs lowering badly..

That needs lowering badly..

  i know!

Cant get hubcentric spacers under 10mm so just get a good set of 5mm spacers.

[vw_golf_nutter]

is 5mm even worth it though?!
will check out the hubcentric stuff.

I would never run a spacer that is not hubcentric,they are garbage and should not be allowed as they put extra load on the wheel bolts ,plus cause unwanted wheel wobble.

dont want wheel wobble, never heard of hubcentric but will go that route if i need spacers - thanks for the help!

Ok you can't get, because they can't make hubcentric spacers under 10mm! 

I would love to be proved wrong. Post a link.

5mm is worth it. I have them on the back. I also have 14mm hubcentric spacers on the front.
