On the same topic - fronts, has anyone spaced out their fronts.

I'm on early mk3 gti alloys and I wanna keep them and the cr has been lowered on a H+R kit (40mm) so the rears need to get spaced but I'd like to move out the fronts a bit too

my fronts are 3mm (all though not hub centric and with standard bolts!! :shocked:) but with them being so slim there barely noticable to the untrained eye... I do want some proper 10mm ones tho

Was thinking 5/8 mm, but I dont want to introduce any rubbing... thanks for eth feedback.

With your 15/16 mm rears, is it rubbing on the arch lip, perhaps some amateur rolling might help!!
