spacers for Vorsteiner wheels on S5?

[Lizard 1]

Looking at what you guys with Vortsteiner wheels are running in terms of spacers for the S5? I have a set of 20" VFF102s coming and want to get spacers that will allow a better fit. Ideas?

what tire size will you be running?

I dont believe you need spacers for the Vorsteiner flowform as they are designed to fit the S5.

No spacers here...Built specifically for the S5. I've since dropped it a bit more going from H&R OE's to Sports...No rub...Fills the wells nicely.

Ran same set up with no spacers and was fine. Just added 5mm front and 10mm rear a couple days ago. Could have got by with 5mm rear only but I'm a little ocd. No photos yet, will post when I can.

If I had them, 5/8.

Gorgeous and same wheels!! Any huge issues with the sport springs for a daily? I'm worried about all the pot holes and such as seen in Ohio. Hate to bend the things and adding a stiffer and lowered aspect worries me even more. Was going to do the OEs vs Sport. But like the drop on Sport.

Not on sport springs but similar "low" with coil overs. Haven't had any issues with pot holes but do avoid them as best I can.

20x10 et30, spacers 0/5mm f/r. running Hankook 275x30x20. Probably could go 5/8 f/r as Mops suggested but wanted to leave enough room in case i went to 285s.

I'm doing the EXACT same setup on wheels and tires. Even down to the red center cap!

Any comments on the Hankooks? I hated going from Michelin Pilot SS to Hankooks, but they weren't available and they cost more which for me, getting the wheels this season was what I focused on. I drive hard at times (racer in me), but mostly civil and not terrible on loading the tires... But how are you feeling towards them?

I had 255x35x19 Continental Sport Contact 5Ps as OEMs on 19x9" peelers and preferred the handling and responsiveness to the Hankooks. For the money, the hankooks are fine and I'm happy with them. I wouldn't track them like I have the Conti's but they are fine for daily spirited driving. From what I've seen on tire rack and in forums here, the PSSs are more similar to the Conti's so you'll be giving up a bit but you are also spending a lot less.
