I fitted HR 12 mm hubcentric on the front and they were fine had no issues with handling or ride, actually I think they improved the steering slightly due to wider track (and the fact that I got the car riding on Eibach suspension). Took them off now I've reverted from S4 (B5) brakes to original brake set-up. I dont think you can get hubcentric spacers below 12mm. If your interested in some used ones PM me.

How many of you lot are running on spacers and what size are they? i have a sport on 17" rims and standard suspension just curious on how wide i can comfortably go without any wheel rub issues?
Thanks,
