Default Question for those with wheel spacers....

I'm running rs4 replicas (et 35)and looking to get spacers. I want the wheels as close to flush as possible but I definetly don't want them to stick out at all. Some are running the 15mm/25mm combo...but the rears look like they are out a little far? Any opinions? Thanks in advance!

Default I have 15mm up front ant 20mm in the rear; they are about flush with the top;

the other advantage of the 20mm over the 25mm is you can use the longer lugbolts without having to bolt the spacers to the hub, and then lugbolt the wheel to the spacers. One less thing to fail IMO.

Default 15 F -20 R here also. Probably depends somewhat on ET also...

Apart from the look, do you notice any difference in the handling?

Default See what you think...

the rears sit flush with the ET35 wheels and 25mm spacers, the shape of the wheel opening from the will show more tread from the rear.. These Michelin PS2s run wider than my last set of tires as well. Correcting the rear camber will move the top of the tire out a bit as well I believe.

Default I thought it was my imagination...

like when you detail your car it seems faster. But it does seem to be somewhat improved. It kinda makes sense because it's wider tracking. I have no technical info to back that up though.Just butt dyno results!

Default Where's a good place to buy spacers?

Odd, I can't find any locally. I was hoping to for tomorrow's suspension work.
