has anyone here installed wheel spacers on their B8 Allroad (sport package with 245 tires on 18" factory wheels) ?

Are you trying to push the wheels out more? If so, there was someone else ECS Tuning Wheel Spacers (Part # 2603073 – 10mm Front & Rear with Ball Seat Bolts). But this was on a 20X9 wheels.

Yes, that's the idea

I'm thinking of 5 mm., but I don't have a good sense as to whether that's too little.

The original offset for the stock wheels is 26. Check out this website. You can put in the info and it will give you the measurements compared to stock.

I'm running 10mm up front and 15mm rear with the stock wheels. The widest part of the tires are as far out as the inner lip of the fender moldings.

Jtdbsr, Can you post some pictures.

roger_1

Thanks for your reply. What is the year and model of your car?

And yes, I'd love to see some photos.

Thanks for the pics. Judging from yours, I'm guessing 5 mm might not make much of a difference.

The rear tires probably throw more water/dirt onto the very rear of the fender, but do you notice much difference in terms of the front wheels throwing water onto the front fenders and doors?

Thanks

Not more than usual, however, the spacers were installed sometime in April so can't say how bad it will be in the winter. I can always install mud flaps for those months if needed.
