Wheel Spacers..Again!!.....Post Photobucketgate!!
« on: 10 March 2018, 07:01 »
Sorry to drag the topic up yet again but I was washing my car yesterday and it looked like the rear wheels especially don’t fill the arches the same way my R did?? my R had the 19” Pretoria’s and my current car has 19” Brescia’s both wheels  are 8J x 19” too :undecided:
I have looked through loads of previous threads but all the before and after comparison shots have fallen to the curse of photobucket !!!
Current thinking is 10mm on the fronts and 15-20mm on the rears. I think i prefer the H&R DRA type but not sure if you can get 15mm version??
So...can any kind soul post up there before and afters again please to help me and no doubt others decide  :smiley:

8J according to VW website  :undecided:

It’s not unknown for the information on VW’s website to be incorrect. I’d trust this information more;

Brescia
https://www.kunzmann.de/shop/en/wheels-19-inch-rims-brescia-golf-7-gti-genuine-volkswagen.htm

Pretoria
https://www.kunzmann.de/shop/en/wheels-golf7-volkswagen-5-spoke-r-light-alloy-wheel-set-pretoria-19-inch-vw-golf-7.htm

So, 19 x 7.5j with an offset of ET51 for the Brescias and 19 x 8j with an offset of ET50 for the Pretoria’s. This would mean the Brescias would protrude approx 7mm less than your Pretorias did.

Bear mind that some insurers don’t like wheel spacers as a modification, so suggest you check your insurer doesn’t have any issues with these before you fit them.
