Is anyone running the following??

12mm rear spacers.

10mm front spacers.

255 35 19 tyres?

If so any pics?

Also any rubbing issues etc..

I want a phatter look....currently running 10mm rears and 8 mm fronts but i think i could go a little wider?? Dont know if there would be any issues though.

Cheers

I'm sure an extra 2mm will make no difference

We have these in stock with longer bolts.

As Virdee says I'm sure it'll be ok mate. The 275 tyres add an extra 10 mm either side with no rubbing so with 255 tyres and them size spacers you'll be fine.

I've just decided to go for spacers as well, with Tyres 255/35/19, the most common option is 10mm rear and 8 mm front or should I consider something different? Would anyone have pics of this set up please?

Sorry to hijack your post RS4414, won't be long!

With regards to the front, MTM do the 10mm, so I'm guessing its ok. However, someone on here commented some time back that they felt the 10mm fronts were protruding a little too much and perhaps they should have gone for 8mm.

I'd also like to see some pictures of spacers on the RS4 and what is the optimal set up. I want a more pumped up look all round, have seen a few people on here run 10mm rear and 8 mm front. wondering how 10mm all round would be?

cheers

Im running 10 mm rears and 8mm fronts at the moment..

Defo looks better than OEM..

I was going to get some 20" wheels for the ultimate arch fill...but i,m going to stay with 19" and fill the arches to the max as i like OEM look.

Thats why i,m asking about 12mm rears??? and whether it will cause issues...

I can use my exsting 10mm rears on my fronts anyway but want to try 12mm on rears first.

Think i,l go for 12mm rears first and see what she looks like.

Someone must have pics???

i posted not so long ago with pics of the arch 10mm rear from Virdee autos fills it almost flush 12mm might be slightly over also 8mm on front is good, real difference id stick with 10's and 8's personal preference that is

I think 10mm rear and 8mm front are the most common and worthwhile option..i have seen cars with this setup and i think it looks spot on imo.

Just a quick question why is it not safe to go on a track with spacers? So when you go for a spirited drive would that not be similar?

I'm sure it would be safe on a track cos sonny has spacers all round and he tracks his car.
To rs4414, with ur car not on ss+, do the spacers stil look better than oem look? I'm just thinkin, cos of the standard ride height, the front spacers might not look right until car was lowered a little.....

I have just put 10's on front and back but just removed the fronts. I thought that they looked too wide and am now going to get some 8's for the front.

Oh and defo do it as the back looks so much better !

But when you fit tyres that give near enough the same rolling radius (which you need to do to keep the speedo reading correctly), a 20" wheel/tyre combination won't fill the arches any better than a 19" wheel / 275/30 tyre combination???

It's tyre width increase or spacers that fill the arches better not wheel radius increases.

Just about to change tyres was thinking of putting 275 30 19 on with the 10mm rear & 8mm front spacers. Should be ok with 275's ????

What and where are the best spacers?

6's would be better on front with 275 tyres, 8's would mena the outer tyre edge would be right on the lip of the wheel arch and may rub under full suspension loading.

Im going for 8mm on the front and 10mm on the back whats the best make to go for and where to get them and what wheel bolts
