dannywhiteley Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I want some 20mm spacers for my rear wheels. Go for Hubcentric though, much better than the 'universal' type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L119 UPO Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 As little as possible, the bigger the spacers the more stress on the wheel threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXXXtreme arosa Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) As little as possible, the bigger the spacers the more stress on the wheel threads.if you use hub-centric ones you would not have this trouble. only thing is with straining the bearings in the hubs.

If you go any more then 8mm then use the hubcentric type.I bought them from demontweeks and there Eibach pro spacers buy the way, not H&R's style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> There's lots of others you can buy just look through the vag mag's.

Dubya Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I've run 20mm spacers on the rear of my gti since day one of ownership - so 40mm increase in track width. I've had a number of different wheels on the car, and ran a load of different ride heights. Not had any problems at all, though the wheel bearings will age prematurely style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
