    Spacers?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I was thinking about getting some spacers for my car. Fedex says my coilovers will be here tomorrow... My excitement makes me want to do more. I have a s-line w/ the titanium package.. What size spacers would you reccomend for a better stance?

    Thanks!

    I believe most people use H&R with 10f/12r being the most popular setup. Use the search function.

    Re: Spacers?

    take a ruler and measure length to fender from most outward part of the tire (or wherever you want to line up). That way you can get as close to flush as possible while knowing you wont rub! Otherwise take recommendations of 12/15 or 10 / 12 or 10/15 etc. that other people have. All look great when closer to the fender.

    Re: Spacers?

    i believe the offset on my wheels now is +45 offset (b7 A4 special edition), im getting the 19" rs4 reps which are +38 offset. does that mean i need to get 7mm spacer? how does that work?

    Re: Spacers?

    Research how offsets work first and remember wheel width has a big part in it too...
    Dont rush it and take your time.

    NO NO NO NO NO...Definetely NOT...
    That will take you to 31 offset, and your wheels will go of the car...

    The lower the offset, the more out of the cars the wheels go

    good to know! I have the titanium wheels too. How do you think 8mm all the way around would do? Think it would rub, and do you have factory sized tires?
