Default OK... spacer help please

I'm going with the 15mm F and 25mm Rear, but reading everyone's install info, I'm still not clear about the longer bolts? Front, Rear, Both ?? What length?

Default Front bolts are longer, rear spacers have bolts supplied

I'm going with the same set up

The rear spacers 25mm bolt onto the hub then the wheels bolt on to spacer

for 15 mm you will require longer bolts, purchased separately, length is length of thread of original bolt plus 15mm

this assumes you are using H&R spacers

BTW the 25mm spacers are on backorder at the company I am buying from but they have a good price

Default 41-43mm Bolds (audi style) are all you need.....Click my..>>

site below for pics. Make sure you get ball seat types if you have stock wheels. If not, whatever your wheels require (probably tapered conical).

Default Me too. What is the thickest spacer you can go w/ that will not rub fender on car w/H&R Spt Sprngs?

I put a level against my outer fender lip and the stock wheels were only about 3/4" in in rear and 1/2" in front. Therefore, even w/ stock wheels, a 25mm spacer in rear will put the rim outside the fender. I have 8" rims w/ 35ET and the math works out to be an 8mm or 10mm spacer in front and 15mm in rear to be roughly even w/ fender. Are you guys going past the fender or what?
Also, has anyone had any trouble w/ the 8mm spacer, which is not hubcentric?

i'll vouch for that! 8mm hubcentric is ok, though.

Default MORE Clarification....

OK, my order guy wants to verify the length of the threads, so that I get it right, the Stock bolt is ~ 27 MM and add 15 for the spacer - the 42 mm thread length for the new wheel bolts...

Right?
