Cheers Caldy, Is it just the rears that have them on, and confirm they are 10mm spacers?

I like that look the rear wheels look well tucked in, are you running 255's and do you have SS+?

IIRC he is running 255 but H&R springs rather than SS+ as in his signature.

Was looking at your pics in this months PVW, in the Players report, and was thinking to myself, he must have spacers on that!

Sits just right.

Looking good Red Rocket, what is the drop on the SS+ also what spacers did you use, secondly is it important to have spacers all round on the quattro, or would spacers on the rears be adequate?

Shouldn't be an issue using spacers only on one axle, as your not altering the rollng circumference

I can supply H&R's if you want.....give me a shout.

Ok, cheers, whats the maximum spacers you can use on the rears wth 255 tyres?.....30mm axel width? (15mm each side) or you think that will be too extreme, will it effect the toe in of the wheels?

I have never tried rears only with the spacers, but i have been told that its not recommended on the quattro systems. Wider at the back and narrower at the front may mess with the ESP i guess. Dont know how much of that is true..

The drop i believe is 10mm on the SS+

Looking at RED_ROCKET's pics, I would have thought 10mm per side is sufficient enough. As in it looks perfect.

I would have thought with 15's you might get some rubbing, although if your not going to move over to SS+ or lower it further, then you might be able to get away with 15mm.
