Seeing the pictures of before & after fitting 8mm spacers I would definitely like to fit them to my B7 saloon. I'm running the standard 255/35 x 19 tyres and simply want to know what are the best 8mm spacers (brand/make/supplier) to order and do I need longer wheel bolts? Obviously I don't want the tyres fouling the arches.

Is it simply a case of removing the wheels, fitting the 8mm spacers front & rear and refitting?

Thank in anticipation,

If you want to buy some speak to Revolution or Virdee. They know the car and the exact ones you need. Go elsewhere and you risk getting ones slightly wrong and getting wheel wobble etc. as we have seen on here before as there is more than one type even if you quote 5x112 8mm hubcentric H&R spacers etc.

Yes you will need longer bolts including longer locking wheel bolts but order these at the same time from either of the ones i mentioned above and they will know which ones you need.

And yes, it is that easy to fit.

Excellent - thank you.

I'll give them a call and order them.

Cheers,
