Default Question about H&R Wheel Spacers for 17" RS4 Reps
I have a set of 17" Rs4 reps with an offset of ET35 (so says victoriatire.com). I want to add some wheel spacers because i have a big fender gap.

The question is, do I get the 8mm DR spacers with or without the lip? Also do any of the kits come with bolts, I have no idea what kinda bolts to use (cone, ball, and the length?)

Default If you want to eliminate that gap...put a suspension kit on it.
Spacers only push the wheel out...accentuating whatever wheel gap exists.

Default They stick out plenty...save your $300, and put that towards suspension.
You're only going to make the car look goofy by putting the wheel spacers in now.
