Default Spacer comparison for those who are trying to make sense of it.

I guess I have too many spacers laying around. Just took off my 15mm H&Rs and put on 20mm. Took the opportunity to take a few pictures for comparison.

NOTE- All spacers are H&R parts.

This shows the 20, 15, and 8mm parts (left to right)

.
This shows comparison of the 15mm for our aftermarket wheels with the 8mm designed to work with OE wheels. Note the shape of the transition from the spacer to the bore lip. I run these behind my original twin spokes:

Finally, to dispell the myth that spacers are only aftermarket, this pic shows the 12mm BBS spacers that BBS sells to mount their wheels on an allroad. The part number is exclusive to an allroad and will mount my 18" BBS RX's when I get around to refinishing them. The flange is much bigger because it replaces the adapter rings normally used when mounting a BBS wheel on an Audi.

Hope this helps. Now I just need to thin down the inventory a bit.

Default very cool

thanks for posting this. i am in the process of trying to get rid of vibrations that are likely due to spacers and hub rings not quite fitting perfectly. i will have to check with oz to figure out if they make an integrated spacer thing like bbs does. that would be fantastic.

Is this a garage sale in disguise?

There's a set of wheels for each set of spacers. g
