ECFS Tuning Spacer and Bolt Kit Question

[gman44116]

2013 A6 Prestige with 20x8.5 OEM wheels and sport suspension.

Considering putting ECS spacers on. 10mm up front and 12mm on the rears.

1. Wondering if I have to add longer bolts and go with the spacer/bolt kit. Or, will I have enough thread to call it safe.

2. If I have to go with the spacer and bolt kit, I noticed there is an option between ball or conical. Which will I require?

Get the longer bolts, OEM wheels use ball seated, aftermarket wheels usually used conical.

I just did 17.5mm all around from ecs with black ball lugs. Looked good and fit perfect. Dead flush with fender on oem 20x8.5 +43

Ball seated. Thank you.

I was going to be modest with the spacers. Did your go lower?

I'm actually lowered 15 all around, with 20mm spacers all around.

Stock suspension. You are going to have to zoom in, sorry. Prior to spacers, the wheels/tires were invisible head on. Any more conservative and I think it’s not worth the money, imo.

Also, I am not the biggest fan of differing offsets on awd cars.
