Bonjour.
My Milton Keynes alloys have a bit of corrosion and lacquer peel, which is sad, but I'm looking to pick up some S3 alloys to go on, and probably act as winter wheels going forward. The audi wheels are et54 so I assume I'd need 5mm spacers to put the wheel track back to where it should be?
From what I've seen the 5mm spacers are not hub centric and I would need hub extenders and also longer bolts. Has anyone got any reccomendations on brands or products to use?
Bonjour!
Assuming they’re old shape A3 alloys which will likely be 7.5J if they’re ET54?
I’d run 10mm spacers on them as a minimum, maybe as much as 20mm if you’re brave, the arches will accommodate them ok.
10mm realistically is the minimum safe size for hubcentric, you can buy 8mm hubcentric but the spigot area isn’t great on them and they’d lack strength where it matters.
