Spacers Size Question.... I searched.. honest

[Rick_RS4]

@Rick, im going black optics and black wheels next. Already started the bloack out.....So kinda following your lead here Standard was the plan!

nice, i loved mine with the black oem rims, mine looks like its copying Mike quite alot tho, but i love the rotors however overdone they are.

Grrrrrrr!!!!!

Cancel! Fly back! You left the oven on! Gold fish need feeding! Just tell her Aitp is more important!! What's the worst that can happen apart from divorce?

That's definitely a great comparison shot Sam.

I'm just trying to encourage Neil to be a picture whore. We need more in these threads. No amount is too much.

I'll be your pic whore anytime, Marc!

Yes, I'm gonna post them! I want to do a quick photoshop splice of the two wheels close together so you can see the exact comparison. Much like Sam's shot...

Good man.

Well i pulled the trigger on some US spacers and went 10/10.....If anything I think 10/12 would have been better!

Cost was cheaper than out of the UK and suppose its cause there not a known brand like H&R.

No issues with rubbing at all and think they do make the car stand more mean. Sorry, shes dirty in the pics.

Powder coat wheels and black optics next on the list.....

More pics of the car please edge.

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.

Gorgeous car !!!!! Looks good without the front parking sensors !! My next job is too de-chrome the motor ! After front discs change!
Where did ya get the all the black bits from ????

Sorry chaps but wider track at the back = understeer
I run 20" with 5mm spacers all round, height 24cm front 25mm back. I had to have the front wings rolled and resprayed because of rubbing and the front arch liners were worn completely away in large patches so replaced these too.
But who gives a sh!t, the car looks fantastics and handles amazingly.
So what I am trying to say, mods = compromise, but if you can live with it we're in the same gang !

Yep, from a handling perspective it's always better to have the same spacers front and rear, or even the wider ones on the front. Same reason the RS3 has a wider track at the front and wider tyres. BMW E36 M3's originally had a square set up later to be replaced by narrower front track to combat he sample oversteer. A lot if BMW track cars move to a square set up too.

@Covkiller - my OCD wouldnt allow to go 8/10 or 10/12.... but really its cause I knew that
