Spacers Size Question.... I searched.. honest
Spacers Size Question.... I searched.. honest
Everyone seems to go 8/10, there’s many pics out there for this.
I am running OEM wheels and standard tyre size also.
Is there any issue with 10m on the fronts? Seems the only negative is with a wider tyre or a chav look....
Any advice and pics of a non 8/10 car with similar wheel/tyre size would be great, want to order some this week.

if your running a 255/35 you will be fine with a 10mm. You might need to remove the top screw in your fender liner as that is the most common area for rubbing. Here's a shot of my car lowered on Stasis/Ohlins and 10mm spacers front and rear. OEM 255/35/19 on stock wheels.

Edge - I've just done spacers and I've gone for 8mm all round - I have SS+ so, on the advice of Virdee (top bloke) went 8mm all round. No issues rubbing and looks spot onedge wrote:Everyone seems to go 8/10, there’s many pics out there for this.

i was running 8 and 10 with 255/35/19 contis but when i fitted GY F1 assy 2 they were rubbing on the arch liners due to the squarer profile and sidewall protectors so took them off

Re: Spacers Size Question.... I searched.. honest
well in fairness it was only when cornering hard or belting down the back roads through dips etc but it was annoying

Mine on 10mm spacers currently but they are coming off. Looks good but the man from audi designed the car for a certain track width which I would like to return to.

You haven't searched very well. This gets asked every week
Re: Spacers Size Question.... I searched.. honest
Ha ha there's only 3 posts with information about non 8/10 spacer people...bit like what what I noticed when searching for spacers.
Thank you guys, for the pics, thinking of heading off the beaten track and going 10/10.
So the only fear of 10mm fronts is possible rubbing on one screw or if you have a wider tyre or non OEM wheel.
