You don't need hubcentric when that small because the wheel will seat on the hub still

ah okay, what bout the standard bolt?? will they be safe or shall i get some 5mm longer ones??

[tweed]

Standard bolts are fine up to 5mm spacer. Any bigger than 5mm then but longer bolts.

i had the same issue the other day on my 8v, after a long wait getting the same bbs's refurbed and time to put them on they catch on the calipers badly so car wont move, was bemused as obviously vr6 brakes should be bigger. did you say you've solved the problem with 10mm spacers? i was thinking about getting 15mm for the fronts but wasnt sure what would be enough? just worried about rubbing on the arches, as im lowered on coilies..

[vwwvgolf]

yeah solved with 10mm spacers, although i am rubbing alot now and so going to have raise it up a bit to help. im only lowered 50mm at the moment.
