Hi I am new to the forum and asking for advise on what size spacers to get for my RS6??,I have 10.5x21 Vossen’s on and I am running on air with an MTM lowering module,I thought the Vossen’s would stick out further than the standards but don’t,So I am wanting to bring them out further but without them bottoming out when I go down a dip.
I would’nt go any more than 10mm on the fronts but wanting to no what anyone would recommend on the rear’s ????

Depends on offsets and how much (if) your lowered, and sidewal stretch on tyre etc etc etc!!

It’s a dark art...

I’ve tried several different set ups to get where I am now..

25mm drop all round

PE alloys

P zero tyres

15mm front Spacers

20mm rear Spacers.

Think I need to up the front then lower the hole car by the module again.

Yes that’s what I thought mate,I ordered the Vossen’s thinking they would come out more flush but didn’t.I was thinking 20mm but don’t no weather to play it safe with the 15mm,Have you had any problems. With your 20mm on the rear.I see there seams to be more of a problem with the fronts that’s why I was going to go with 10mm on the fronts.The Vossen’s are an inch wider but guess most of it has gone inwards...

What’s the offset of the Vossens? Did you check that before buying?

Also - all the typos are making me twitch...

Easiest way to get it right is to use a straight edge such as a meter or yard stick and tape measure.

Rest the yard stick on the arch, measure the distance from the yard stick to the tyre wall that gap should be your spacer size.

Are they 21” wheels?

I assume 10” or 10.5” width?

Do you know the ET(offset)?
