Spacer advice needed

Post by Geoff A » Fri Mar 24, 2017 8:32 am

I keep looking at my 4 and wondering if it would benefit from spacers. The wheels (20in rotors) seem to be just a little too much tucked under those pumped arches, more so at the rear than the front. So what's the view on the amount needed from those who have - and do you have any pix you can share? Am I right in thinking 8mm front and 10mm rear? And where's the best place to source them? Car is not lowered and sits on standard DRC giblets. Naturally, I would whip them off before each service ;)
Ta muchly,
