    Hey guys and girls so recently I've was finally was able to mount my new wheels on my b7 after a year of waiting and financially couldn't do it sooner. I went with vmr v710s 18x8.5 offset 35 running a 235 40 tire. I have noticed that the rear tire is tucked and the front is slightly poking out was curious on what spacer that you guys have used to get them flush with the front?

    You don’t need us to tell you what spacer size you need. Simply measure the rear gap and you’ll know precisely what size you need.

    And yes, lower it first.

    Lower the car, measure the gap and buy the spacer that is exact or closest without going over. Of course you measure. That’s why they make different sizes. 😀

    That’s why you always lower it first, then buy wheels.

    And you always measure. Guessing gets you the wrong spacers. If you want the wrong spacers, don’t measure. If you want the right ones, measure. I don’t know how to explain it any better than that.
