Default Question about spacers and offset

I have the 16" sport wheels (smaller rs4 type) and have a good price on some 25mm hubcentric spacers. will 25mm work on all 4 corners without rubbing? I have stock sport suspension, just looking for a wider stance.


word.

Sure, just be sure you get longer wheel bolts.

Default ET offset of the wheels are 45 - 25mm spacers will give you ET20.

It think that is a little extreme

Default no. if those wheels have an offset of +45, but adding 25mm, you'll be at 20mm total

and probably looking like a Honda in the ghetto ridin' dirty, yo.
