Anyone selling a set of wheel spacers used or new by MTM or H&R with longer lug bolts, please e-mail me and give me a price. Litespeeds@hotmail.com Thanks!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/24785/dscf0617.jpg"></center><p>I just bought a set from Hoppen. 15mm with spacers. The Santorin has 15mm MTM spacers, plus MTM/Eibach springs. The Imola is on stock suspension with 15mm MTM's.
They are not for sale, just wanted to give you a heads up.
The stock bolts, as you know, are too short. The spacers, which are incredibly machined, come with longer bolts which work fine in the rear hubs but are too long for the fronts. The fronts lock up like they are crazy glued together. I ground the ends of the front bolts down about an eigth of an inch to provide sufficient clearance.
BTW, not only do these spacers look great but the increased track improves turn in response and reduces understeer dramatically.
I bought them new after posting here for six months trying to find a used set.
Also, when you buy them new, H&R advertises there spacers as a 16mm set which in reality is two 8mm spacers per side for an increase of 16mm; MTM advertises 15mm spacers which indeed are 15mm per side for a total increase in track of 30mm.

I would bet you will rub- - - >
15mm is over 1/2" I would not be comfortable with 20mm.
Plus, IMHO you don't need that much. I took some new shots after cleaning this afternoon, will post later tonight.
