Which Spacers?
Re: Which Spacers?
Steve, be warned though, Chris has aftermarket wheels which are wider and have a different offset to OEM wheels so the spacers he has used may or may not work for OEM wheels.
Re: Which Spacers?
Oh right, thanks Mike. I’m running 20mm but they do rub on a spirited drive every now and again so I’m hoping a few less mm’s and they won’t rub.

Where did you buy from Aerospace?
Any premium parts we should be looking at ?

Re: Which Spacers?
Have you picked up much Mike? Mine is at the body Shop having the exsuast tips redone and coated so may have the skirts etc protected also .MikeFish wrote: ↑Thu Sep 06, 2018 7:34 pmBe warned, you might pick up more stone chips with the wheels sticking out further.
Yes I have some lamin-x light tint on the front. I bought them pre-cut from the states. As they don't have the RS6 over there I ordered for an S6. I also bought the rears but it didn't occur to me until they turned up that of course they will be for a saloon and not an avant so the rears were the wrong shape
I'll order 15 rears 12 fronts let me know the best supplier and I'll order fit and get them on ASAP I notice now can't belove the recess now stock!

Purchased from Revolution, they will supply and fit for little over £250. I would fit myself but Rev happen to be located 5 mins from my house so they might as well do the whole thing. They have fitted spacers to countless RS6's and know their stuff. Bear in mind you'll have to get longer nuts, new lock nuts and select a colour for spacer. Black or silver available - I went for silver as matches the hub... Not that you'd be able to see without properly looking, but as they say "detail is everything".

Mike, where did you buy the front light tints from? Do you have a URL? Were they easy to fit and do you have any pics....MikeFish wrote: ↑Thu Sep 06, 2018 7:34 pmBe warned, you might pick up more stone chips with the wheels sticking out further.

Thanks for that, looking forward to seeing your car when you booked in, your right I think it's probably better to have someone fit tbh . I'll ask around but I don't think there many places in my neck of the woods really that I can trust to do it unless I speak to Audi

Re: Which Spacers?
Most of my car is covered with ppf so not really. Paint is starting to go on the inside edges of the skirts but probably would happen without spacers anyway.Anth wrote: ↑Tue Sep 11, 2018 7:49 pmHave you picked up much Mike?

As mentioned above, Revolution are site sponsors and great guys and know these cars well. The other favourite is Virdee as he knows his spacers well.

Obviously need to add import duty / VAT to those prices but they come with a little fitting kit.
Fairly easy to fit. Made harder for me as I was fitting it on top of ppf so a bit more bumpy than normal.
For the wife's car I bought a rectangular sheet from ebay in the UK and cut them myself. Not a great deal different from fitting the pre-cut sheets and probably what I'd do if I had to do it again.
Photos? Plenty on page 1 of this thread. All the photos you can see my headlights have the tint on.

Re: Which Spacers?
Anth, if you want the same ones as me (15 rear and 12 front) with all the wheel nuts and trimmings I can ask them to call you with quote for supply and delivery. Getting mine done on 25th if would rather wait and see the difference - I know you have Nardo!!

Thanks mate that's great I'll pm you my email just tell them to drop me a line and I'll get the order in . Looking forward to seeing yours this week !
Mine in the body Shop next week having a skirt replaced under warranty as there was a paint bubble I think that was where the old protective tape was removed damaged this , there also ceramic coating the black exhaust tips so I may hold it all off and bribe them the spacers to do at cost to me .. Nardo is a pain for chips I have to say once that lacker is chipped it's a nightmare
