wheel spacers

[samuelt]

hi all i have a 2006 S-line with standard 5-arm 18" wheels and 225/40/18 tyres, i would like to fit wheel spacers as the wheels sit to far inboard for my liking. can any one sudgest a supplier. I dont want to go to far as i may lower it 25mm at a later date.

thank you

Contact Damian at DPM (he sponsors this forum).

I have my car lowered 25mm and use the H&R hubcentric spacers - 10mm at each wheel.

Pretty much fine - occassional rubbing on the rear arches in extreme circumstances, but I'm sorting out the screw it catches on soon.
I think it looks spot on!

Some have gone 15mm on the back wheels, but suffer more rubbing and require some arch mod's - it does look better though!

done enough mods to my discovery to get 235/85/16's in. rather not take the angle grinder to the A3's arches!

does 15mm make so much diff over 10mm (no sick jokes please)

both look great! are the arches the same on the A3s as the S3s, do S3s run 225/40/18's aswell?

They sure do mate

10mm front and 12mm rear is also another option which a lot of people on this forum are running.
