Noticed that GrahamFR posted on a different thread on 17/12/13 that he had fitted 15mm spacers, I am thinking of doing this but dont want it to look like a teenagers Corsa in Tesco carpark :grin: Am I right to think its just the rear that the spacers are fitted? I looked last night and the front dont look too bad, 10mm or 15mm?  :undecided:

Yes i have just fitted the rear, and no i dont look like a Maccy D's Rudeboy just yet  :wink:

Yeah think I'm going for the 15mm, where did you get them from?

others are available just make sure you get hubcentric and dont buy them if they are much cheaper than those

Any chance the standard locking bolts fit?  Or do we need to consider paying for locking ones on top of that?

No you need to get a longer one on top of that.

And then you will need a new black cover cap to suit the shape of it, or if you dont bother with a locking one, you will need 2 more normal vw caps (suggest you go blag your dealers)

Graham: Any idea if the mk5/6 Golf fitment spacers fit the rear of the mk7 or does it need Scirocco fitment spec?
I've got H&R's from my old mk6 but haven't got round to trying them yet.
And I'll need the longer bolts too as mine are the wrong seats for OEM wheels.

No idea I am afraid but worth a shot
