Hey everyone,

I have a 2012 A5 Cab with the 19" Y-spoke wheels. I'm interested in getting some wheel spacers, and had some simple questions:

- What width is recommended? I'd like my car to have a slightly more aggressive looking stance, without looking too boy-racer like or sacrificing too much of the stock feel.
- Are new bolts required? Does it depend on the width of the spacer, or are new bolts always needed?

Many thanks, Dave

DHH - Are you keeping the stock springs or have you dropped your car? Just adding spacers without a drop could make it look like you're driving a monster truck. I wouldn't go more than 5mm in the front and 10mm in the back.

If you have dropped it, 20mm front, 25mm back will put the wheels flush to the fenders. If you want a little less aggressive, go with 15mm front, 20mm back.

Bolts depend what type of spacers you get. I got H&R DRA spacers which did not require new bolts.

Many thanks - that is very helpful!

If I change from stock wheels to others eg concave, will spacers still fit? Or will the spacers need to change in size?

I have a 2017 Audi A3 2.0T lowered on 1.8 H&R springs. I still have the stock wheels on, 225/45/17/7.5. I'm looking into wheel spacers. Any recommendations on size?

Thanks
