Default NZ: Which size wheel spacer?

Hi all

i have a set of 22x10.5 ET35 wheels from my previous Q7 that I would like to fit to my S8

Did a test fit and because of the concave of the rim, they don’t fit over the calipers

How do I know which size spacer I need?

Never had to buy or use spacers before, so this is all new to me




Thanks

My guess is min 10mm if it's hitting now. So your wheel bolts need to be 10mm longer as well.
I like my 25mm option, "DSX" bolt on, then standard wheel bolts. But couldn't source those last time I bought.
So got 25mm with long wheel bolts to suit. I run 25mm front and rear. 25mm rear is great. 25mm front is a bit funky steering wise. Such a wide stance.
10.5 is a wider wheel than I've ever used.

Check spacer documents - You need 6 turns before the bolts seat for safety. Also too deep is not good either as it bottoms out and locks up the wheel
Also that is a lot of ponies to be driving through such thin sidewalls unless you are doing this for posing.
