Default Wheels spacer B9 Allroad

Hello guys,

Anyone using wheels spacers on their B9 Allroad? Which manufacturer and what size are you using? Can you post pictures?

I'm running 19inch on my car (Canadian Sport Package).

I wish the wheels to be more flush to the fenders.

Thanks in advance!

If you want to use spacers I would recommend H&R. You can try calling ECS and they can probably guide you toward what size to use.

Can someone remind me what the stock wheel ET is on the B9 Allroad and what ET will get you flush if anyone has done that already?

Don't get 5mm spacers. Go for atleast 10mm or above since the 8mm and lower ones don't have a lip and even though H&R claims it is hubcentric, it causes vibrations. I took the spacers on mine off because of vibrations between 65-80MPH. Now I don't have any vibrations. $133 down the drain but I learnt something and hopefully can help others save some money.

There are lucky ones who don't have vibrations with 5mm spacers but only few.

I would have a friendly machine shop check that the hub is truly centered in the bolt circle.

Yup. I thought I'd play with it a bit in a month or so since I don't have the time right now. Maybe next month or so after I find a friendly shop to recheck it.

We tried mounting it using the method an achtuning rep told me (same method mentioned on other forums as well). But it was of no use. It still caused vibrations. It supposedly is impossible to center 5mm spacers since it doesn't have a lip. Atleast, that was what I understood after reading around 10-15 threads on H&R 5mm spacers causing vibrations with oem rims.
