H&R Spacer part numbers

[mboy]

Does anyone know the correct part numbers for H&R 10mm HC spacers to fit the rear on an B7 RS4, also do the 8mm HC spacers fit on the rear as they have a different chamfer size and bore depth?

8mm......162555716

10mm.....202555712b


57.1mm center bore.

I,m running 8mm fronts and 10mm rears.

There wont be a problem running 8mm on the rears.

Got mine from the TT shop.

Hmmm not so sure about that code, unless they've changed the part number. Took me ages to track down at the time, ultimately speaking to the USA and Germany. The correct code was 202555713 for the 150mm hubface version. Suggest you check carefully before ordering as none of the websites are very clear.

If it helps I have just ordered a set of 2055571B also listed as 10mm ! I hope to be fitting them later this week so will let you know if they fit !

Thanks all.

Well by spacers (2055571B) arrived today & as the car is on axle stands only tool a moment to offer them up and the fit looks perfect. They are a sung fit onto the hubs & putting them face to face the hub size looks perfect & the holes line up fine through to the hub.

I don't have any wheels at the moment so can't test for fit with a wheel but they certainly seem like the correct thing !

Is fitting 10mm spacers better than fitting 275 width tyres, instead of the 255.

Spacers will push the wheels out so making for a more aggressive look, the wider section tyres are as I understand it more about getting some rim protection, which is why I will be fitting those when my existing tyres wear out. I guess they will also make the wheels look a bit wider as a side effect too. I have read on here 10mm + 275 fits OK so that is the set up I will end up with, can always get the spacers turned down a few mm if any problems anyway...

Spacers will push the wheels out ...

Any impact on the suspension, camber, stress on hub?

It will promote negative camber, more you increase the axel width.

Which in turn could effect the thrust bearing.

Just make sure you have the car set up correctly (4WLA).

Really ? I did wonder about this but then thought Audi cheerfully changed the offset of the wheel from 8/45 on an S4 to 9/29 on an RS4 so effectively spaced the wheel out by 29mm - take your point on getting the allignment checked though do you think that is an urgent job or when next in job do you think ?

Am wondering if should take the spacers off now !
