    2022 8Y S3 Spacers question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey all! Not a frequent poster here but have been looking around on the forums regarding spacers for the 8Y S3 on stock 19' wheels. Does anyone have recommendations on what size (front and rear) would be considered flush and if oem hub is 57.1mm?

    Thank you!

    You need to measure the gap between the sidewalls and fender lips to determine the spacer size. Generally speaking, a 5 mm spacer is reasonably good with 10 mm being the max I would go. In most cases a few millimeters more in the back would be close to flush all around. Based on this picture, see if 5 front and 8 back works.

    I did EMD 10mm front and back and it looks nice....OEM plus. I am 18s though....although I would guess the offset is similar.....
