[ECS Tuning-Audi]

The German TUV (Technical Inspection Association) has determined that in several European countries the clearance between fender and tire must be adequate to accommodate snow chains when safety requires.

In North America, where no such law exists, RS4 owners have the option of restoring Audi's original intention of providing a focused race-bred machine by widening their car's stance, improving road-holding and performance aesthetics.

Improve your stance appeal with the in-house fit/tested hubcentric ECS spacers and appropriate length wheel bolts.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Was going going to pony up the $ for some MTM 10mm spacers, but this is a pretty good deal.

Anyone have any experience with these? Any issues using these with OEM wheels?

[ECS Tuning-Audi]

Our spacers are engineered to work specifically with OEM and OEM style wheels!

I have these, 10mm for both OEM wheels for summer, and Kahn wheels for winter. No issues, work as expected.

Thanks for chiming in. Are you lowered, or on stock suspension?

Not lowered, stock suspension.

I've used ECS spacers for years (10mm and 12 mm) and they work exactly as advertised for much less than competing brands. Make sure to also use extended lugs.

My only wish is that they were coated/painted/anodized silver instead of black with the "ECS Tuning" inscription, but I can live then it...

Just make sure not to go too small (e.g. 5mm) because then they will not have the hub centering rings.

Some like the black and some don't, but black is the color we chose to go with and will likely stick with unless we decide to offer another alternative later on down the road.

That being said once you own the spacers you can absolutely strip the anodized coating and do as you wish with to them to suit your personal tastes.

Great deal - I've had these on for a few months and the car looks great. Lowered with Euro SS+.

[SQ RS4]

Just placed my order.

[DWRS4]

The only thing stopping me from ordering is the fact that some people have had vibration issues with those and recommend MTM spacers. Jason, are these returnable if something like that comes up?

Ditto on this...

Only if u go smaller than 10mm.

Only if u go smaller than 10mm.

That's what I've gathered.

Yea I have their 15mm on my peelers and they're fine

We've been selling spacers for years and seems majority of vibration issues are from improper installation. 8mm spacers typically cause the most grief as they take up just about all of the factory hub extension and that makes centering the wheel difficult. Once spacers are installed they aren't returnable. If there is physical damage or a defect with the spacers you may return them.

I'm running 275/30/19s on OEM rims, plus I'm lowers on KW3s to about a 10mm wheel arch gap.

I'd like to go spacers, but not sure if I will just buy myself lots of rubbing

Did you roll your fronts?? You might be okay.

Gotta have spacers!

I have the exact setup as you. Slightly rolled front/rear fenders and have a tiny bit of running on really large bumps. You'll have decent rubbing w/o rolling your fenders, at least without negative camber.

Go 8's on the front. Problem solved.

On stock wheels or the AG wheels?

cheers for that.

I currently get the slightest rubbing when I bottom out on sudden dips.

I'm running the Goodyear Asymmetrics too and they have an incredibly large lip protector on them

[Gareth_oau]

by the way, how thick are the advertised spacers?

[Striddy]

It says 4x10mm spacers in the kit

[Gareth_oau]

It does too

[kmurph]

What's the outside diameter of the spacers? Should be 149mm for a RS4. I bought spacers from ECS a few years ago that were supposed to fit a RS4, but they were too small...

[ECS Tuning-Audi]

Our spacers are specific to the center bore and bolt pattern. Having spacers specific to the rotor face the spacer seats to for every vehicle would require way too many variations. Some VW's require a slightly smaller size than the standard Audi size which do offer, but if you are searching for a spacer that will be any larger in diameter than what you have we do not have it available. This size fits majority of Audi rotor faces.

Does this cause stress on the wheel? Or does the gap make the setup look a little funny?

Shouldn't cause any additional stress to the wheel. I don't think spacers make anything look funny, most people don't either. But you're entitled to your own opinion.

Although you guys advertise the spacers as being made specifically to work with the OEM RS4 wheels, if the spacers are too small relative to the hub of the wheel, there will be a gap. I was asking whether the gap might be (i) unsafe or (ii) unsightly. I'm just trying to figure this out.

Please read post #29 in regards to your first question.

There's no safety concern regarding the gap. I've seen aftermarket wheels that the hub of the wheel doesn't quite fit the entire rotor hub and there's no issue with this.

Whether it's unsightly is your opinion.

Jason

[badbluers4]

Lol not sure what the issue is here....but these are ECS 12mm on my rears (I'm pretty sure although I don't see ECS logo), and they fit fine with OEM wheels.

[DWRS4]

Thanks Badblue, that looks good, I ordered a set.

[badbluers4]

Thanks Badblue, that looks good, I ordered a set.

Cool man. Yea as long as you go 10mm and above, you should be fine. No vibrating or any issues.

[DWRS4]

I got the 10mm ECS spacers and put them on the car. First of all, the diameter of the spacers is perfect for the RS4: it's 15cm, which nicely matches the hub of the OEM wheel and the size of the rear rotor. There is no gap whatsoever -- the picture in post 28 probably corresponds to an older ECS spacer because I don't have that issue at all. The spacer fits inside the wheel very tightly but all four spacers had a little bit of play around the center bore. I drove the car around town and did not notice any vibrations but I'll take it on the highway tomorrow and see. Overall it looks awesome :-)

Second, I was surprised to have some rubbing in the front on both sides in sharp turns when driving "spiritedly." The car is stock -- wheels, suspension, tire size, everything. I then removed the two fender liner screws and that seems to have fixed the issue. I think it's because I have Pirelli tires: all four now poke out a little (front and back), they also look more square than the PSS that a lot of people run. Any reason I should be worried about this? Thanks!

[badbluers4]

Take pics....what size tires?

Edit:I see you said stock size. Never seen poke on stock size tires and stock suspension before with 10mm spacers.

[DWRS4]

Ok, drove the car around, and I get no vibration whatsoever on the spacers. Not sure why I was rubbing but taking out the screw has fixed the issue even on bumps and aggressive cornering so whatever. Bottom line for anyone considering the ECS spacers: they're great, perfect fit for the RS4.

[WinterRunner]

Personally I would go MTM, they are the exact size of the hub, and specifically made for our platforms, not a variety of Audi's. They are also twice the price, but we all drive RS4's here so....
