Spacer Help With Standard 16" GTi Wheels.
« on: 16 April 2013, 21:22 »
Still a massive noob  :grin:

So I've got my Coilovers and getting them fitted Friday.  But im gonna need wheel spacers.  I mean my arches hang over bad as is so they're only going to look worse when its lowered. 

So was wondering what/where size spacers I will need to make my wheels flush.

That still won't bring them flush, but I wouldn't go any larger than that.

I'm running 8J ET35 all round with 20mm rear and 15mm front spacers and they still aren't flush.

Ultimately if you want 'stance' you need wide wheels, not wide spacers.
