Hello for those running spacers on standard suspension could you tell me what size of spacers you run front and rear and tyre size please.
Fronts:
Spacer size -
Tyre size -
Rears:
Spacer size -
Tyre size -
I have emailed virdee also after reading a recent thread. Is this guy still trading??
Thanks
I have an RS4 on the way and needs new tyres so probably the best time to order spacers too.

I'm running 10 mm front and rear. Perfect IMO but I know some run 8mm on front.
Increases curbing potentail but makes stance look so much better.

Assuming it's got the OEM 19x9 alloys tyres are 255/35/19 if you change size you run into problems with speedo reading. Heard of some guys on Audizine running 275/30/19 but not recommended IMO.

I bought spacers off virdee recently, try PM rather than email.

You tried calling him? Pretty sure the number is in his signature.

I'm running 20" S7 alloys with 4mm spacers, 235 30 20 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres. They are stretched but I rang Michelin beforehand and was informed that this would not effect handling or speed run safety.

This properly shows the difference between OEM and a 10mm spacer. SS+ suspension will rub slightly with 10mm rear though, so best go 8mm front & rear.

I ordered mine from Virdee. I told him l had standard 19" wheels, standard size tyres and standard suspension - not the SS+ suspension and he said 8mm front and 10mm rear will be fine and the tyres WON'T rub.
And the rear tyres DO rub. When l contacted him he wouldn't swap the 10mm spacers for 8mm because they have been used. Of course they've been bloody used - I went with his advice after all. There aren't any DRC issues either.
I was surprised by his attitude and would suggest checking out other options before parting with your cash. It wouldn't have been too much to ask to have swapped them over !
Not a happy customer.....

surprised you had been advised to stagger the spacer size as well ?

it's weird how people are experiencing rubbing with 10mm at the back as i run these and have no issues and my car has been lowered to the point where the top of the tyre pretty much sits just under the arch.
