Default Wheel spacers on stock 20"

Hi all,

I'm just curious, anyone with wheel spacers?
what's the ideal size for stock 20" wheels? seems that there is enough space to fit 25mm spacers easily.

IMO...the truck will look better.

yes, i had them... it is the way they should have come from the factory, flush with the fender and no rubbing when lowered, i am even 15mm lower than factory and had no issues.

took them off when i switched to 21" as they 21x10 fill out the wheel wells very well...

if you're interested i have a set of 4 with long bolts and oem audi caps.

Still considering them for the rear tires only. Are they H&K?

You think? I usually only run rears. The rear tires always tuck in more on an Audi due to the FWD layout it is based on. I always felt just doing the rears brought out the rears to match the front. Unless you are doing both front and rears than I would normally stagger spacer sizes.

JMHO :-)

we cant argue a preference, just saying that i prefer the flush look.

if you make the rears flush the front are still recessed and it looks off to me.

i like to do it all around so it has an even look.

YMMV.
