What size spacers? Lowered B8 A4

[baku777]

Daily driving a 2010 A4 lowered on st coilovers and running 19x9.5 all around, profile 255/35/19.

I want to get spacers to push the wheels out for a super flush look - vertically match the outer wheel profile with the fender and give the stance that's more noticeable and aggressive.
Really want to find the right size, or sizes.

Measuring from the tire profile to the inner fender lining, the front has 5/8 inch, or ~15m mm of space, and 1/2 inch for the rear, ~12mm clearance.

I was set on 12.5mm front and 10mm rear, though are there any downsides of riding 2.5mm wider up front, given it is fwd.

I thought of doing 10mm in the back because the inner fender lining is thicker than on the fronts, hoping it'll give the wider rear stance I'm looking for.


What are your thoughts, spacer wise? Brand input would also be helpful, such as H&R and ECS. Or any description or photos of your setup. Thanks in advance.

Links? I haven't found one that matches my specs

[Mr.Audi]

"Read" the threads and use the info and see how it applies

First off....

What's the et/offset of the wheels? -this is the most important detail next to width

Then how low? Coilovers? Springs? --this more so applies to how ur tire will contact the inner well an outer (inner lip) of the qtr /fender.

Spacers... H&r are my preference



Then alignment? -u can use specs to get the fitment at stock specs for wear an handling or u can go all camber gang

Let's start there

Hey man, I know we were suppose to meet up. I will see how this week goes, maybe you can stop by the house, and you can try those 10mm spacers out. Or you could just drop by and grab them and try them out.

What's the offset of your wheels now? That will help a lot with determining what spacers you need

[baku777]

I'm down to pick them up to try them on. Less work on your part.

I personally like the ECS Spacers. I ran them on my old BMW for years without issue and currently have them on my A4 as well with no complaints. I have run the H&R's and they are great quality, but Ive always received great service from ECS and I feel their spacers are a great value. Cant go wrong with either IMO.

As far as size goes, based on your numbers Id go with 12.5/10 or 10/10. You don't want to rub, but I also am not a fan of the sub 10mm spacers so Id stick with at least that width.

Go with a 5mm all around if you want to be safe. 10mm may cause a tiny bit of rub, depending how low you are. Most people are running 9.5 et40 rub free, so you can use that as a reference.

Hey man just text me tomorrow, plus remember I am running 275 30 on 19x10 40 offset on the rear with no rub. I think the 10mm will be perfect.
