Default Wheel Spacer install

Just had spacers installed. Went with 10mm front and 12mm rear. Here's a link to the photos: http://gallery.achtuning.com/main.ph.../8054.jpg.html

Looks good! That really helps the stock wheels look a little more aggressive.

Great pics. I have that car and just ordered those wheels and H&R springs. Next up are black exhaust tips. Want the car to look a little meaner.

R A8 looking good!

Couple of questions:

- Hubcentric rings needed?
- Adequate clearance for suspension swap (coilovers)?

Looks good. This car really needed it. I have S5 rims on mine so it's offset matches what you just did

I just ordered those wheels in 19s and H&R springs. Wonder if I'll need spacers. What'd you get? ECS Tuning? H&R spacers?

Thanks! These are the H&R track + which have a hub centric design. I did not have them measure for any change in ride height. You may want to call Auchtuning and see if Skyler knows. He measured the car and they did the install.

Looks great! Did you change your springs?

Has anyone put H & R Springs with Spacers? I was going to do 5mm spacers but am a bit nervous about the fitment. Can anyone verify this will work? Thanks

Never really was a fan of spacers but I completely agree these are definetly needed. They should come factory this way. Any noticeable changes in handling characteristics?
