I would only use hubcentric spacers, and either H&R or Eibach

Looks the biznizz. Shame you sold the wheels as they made the car look quality.

I have still got them, as they haven't been collected yet, and after doing all that, I was sooo tempted to put them back on! They're all cleaned up anyway, so it would only be a matter of swapping them! But had to resist!

Keep em!!!! They make it look so more aggressive and are much better looking than the standard ones. that's the only gripe with my car, the wheels let it down imo.

Yep totally stock suspension ;)

The spacers make a huge difference. Had a mate comment on Saturday when I was detailing the car, that the car looked awesome, and how the wheels filled the arches perfect! Told him about the 15mm spacers, and he was like "oh"!

Just shows how huge the arches are, as theoretically they are now ET5!

IMO spacers are need to accentuate the flared arches of the RS4.
