15 mm Spacers

[aaaudiprotein]

My friend is gonna give me 2 15mm spacers from his b5 a4.
I'm thinking now if i should put them in the back or in front???
Im on 17" ASA JH3 and H&R race.

[aaaudiprotein]

id say one of each and see waht looks better then just move the wrong one

[LeonHall]

back... fonrt should be 10mm from what ive heard...thats with stock usp rims though

[audipotential]

Arent spacers used to clear brakes?

[AudiA4Turbo22]

^^yes as well as make ur rear end look wider! put them in the back!

[acbaseball186]

i say back since that will make the rear wider then the front, most likely giving you a better stance...or you could just put on them on the front, then put them on the back and decide which looks best...it wont take that long if you do trial and error ya know?

[Noodle]

Put them both on the right front. Now that's original.

I mean, put them in the back.

Like a lot???

what's your offset in the rear? 15mm is really wide

[aaaudiprotein]

I have no idea :))) How can i find out???

[Maverick]

what brand and model are you running of your rim

[aaaudiprotein]

Asa Jh3

[Maverick]

your offset ET35mm. I remember seen your car once and it's kind of low. you are pushing it. you can adjust your rear wheels to like negative 2 degrees of camber but i dont know if that's enough. caution for this, you will wear down your tire faster than no camber.

[aaaudiprotein]

My tires are bold :) I'm just waiting/deciding on what rims i wanna go with and also new tires... But as for now, i wanna try those spacers. And yeah, it is really low... So what are the downsides with these specific spacers on my car???

[Maverick]

if you dont adjust the cambers, your tires will stick out too much and will hit your fenders and so on. if your fender arch is meeting the tire line now, then your car won't even move, or hardly move becuase your tire will rub the fenders right away

[aaaudiprotein]

oh i see... no i dont rub at all now... How easy/hard to adjust the camber???

2 degrees is just enough to do 15mm on a 8" wide wheel with ET35. His rims are only 7.5" wide I believe, so he should be fine.

[Maverick]

that's good to know

[aaaudiprotein]

^^^ +1

It seems as if peeps agree that 15mm is ok in the rear (I have 04 sport suspension and might do this, too)
How about the front, though?

Does this...

back... fonrt should be 10mm from what ive heard...thats with stock usp rims though

hold any water?

[aaaudiprotein]

^^^ I've got Neuspeed race, so im lower than you...
Yeah, if you put 15mm in the rear, u better put at least 8mm-10mm in the front

[demea]

Cool, thanks

i just ordered up the rest of the parts that i need to do the b5 s4 front brakes and also went with 15mm but im going to put them in fronts and rears.. i know i only needed 10 to clear the usp wheels but i measured it out and the additional 5 mm is not alot at all

will i have problems with this setup?
btw im just a stock USP suspension with the 18" USP wheels
