Sorry - typed the question in haste!

Yes - I was asking what thickness spacer will fit so that the wheel still has proper engagement with the hub to avoid the wobble.

Thanks

Dave

Hi all I recently got my RS6 and this was the 1st mod i wanted to do. I did search this forum but could not find many threads with 20" with spacers mainly 21". I decided to go for the 20mm rear and 15mm fronts. Wider than the 'norm' but I'm happy with the end results. I went for the Bimecc in the end. I had them on my M3 before and had no problems. ill add some before and after pic's. Next 'mod' if you can call it that, in for PPF next week. Hope this helps.

The 20s have a narrower tyre so can take a wider spacer.

I wasn't sure until I saw Mikes. Great looking cars in all pics ! Mikes your rears are where I'd like to be why are they not like this stock looks so much better in person. Pictures below of mine looking in need!

Ps. Front light tints Mike on your beast?

Be 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’m on standard DRC and run 15 rear and 10 front. Any more and the tyres start to move outside the arches and that’s with OEM 21’s

I have 15mm on the rear.
Just rear Mike and in 21s?

12/15 any pics rtd?
When on 21s I had just 15mm rear as the front was so low I couldn't space it out at all.
With the 20s on which have 275 wide tyres, I ran 15mm rear again but squeezed 12mm on the front.
Now with my aftermarket 21s I run 15mm rear and 12mm front but could probably go the next step up on both.


21s

That last pic is perfection. The stance is absolutely spot on in my eyes. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Thanks. And rear wiper delete too.

Yes been a few wheels and suspension set ups. Should get rid of some I guess. Starting to pile up. Still got a set of RS4 wheels in the garage.

Makes such a difference. The wiper delete cleans up the back so much.
