    black forest spacers

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have a set of 10mm spacers for the front for my b7. And 16mm for the rear. They were suppose to be hubcentric, but only the 10mm are in the front. Is the hub size different or something? Because the rears won't fit in my vmr v713s or centric to the hub? Any help guys?

    Measure the bore on the wheels and the spacers. Maybe the rear spacers are 66.56?

    jes, could possibly be that they shipped spacers that werent 57.1..

    was my first thought, i dont like BFI, i lived in NC 5 minutes from them, and they dont seem like they care, or want to help anyone that isnt going 500whp

    always used a different shop for my work, hence why they wont get my business

    Could be the case. That it wasn't the 57.1 sent to me. They haven't been super helpful through email ether to help me.

    I was thinking that too. I think I might have to get the 16mm shaved a tiny little bit to fit flush with the wheel.

    once you tried them on the car they have a restocking (or nonreturn) policy, I can't remember which

    Oh really? There is a no return policy? Well they still might work.

    if they do have one, it involves a heavy restocking fee. I'm an hour from them and am considering going there to try them at the shop before buying.

    BFI is full of snobs
    and crap products. For example, their bolts have a lovely habit of rusting over, very quickly..

    well i thought u were south of raleigh/durham

    absolute used to be my favorite, until they told me that they wouldnt help me with a coilover problem i was having...

    they used to be real awesome but i think the owner has gotten a little more selfish and only wants big money projects..

    you can try them out, only AWD dyno in NC, the owner has an 800whp s4 that i have been in as well..shits redonk

    Yea, I kinda could tell the lugs wouldn't last long so I got different ones. Will do sharkfin, probably going to a shop to trouble shoot it out with them. Thanx for the help guys!
