Default Wheel Spacers

Hey guys,

Questions for you. I have a 2011 S5 with stock 19' rim (in Canada). I would like to add spacers to the rear wheels only, what would be the size I should use to not make it looks for off? I don't plan to do the front wheels. Would 10 or 15 mm be okay?

Thanks

I had a conversation with someone from AWE recenlty and the guy recommended 20mm (that's what I have in the mail coming to me). AWE sells H&R spacers, btw. I've seen pics online of cars with 25mm and they still look pretty good.

Many threads on this - do a search. That being said, 20/25 gives you a perfect stance IMHO.

i just received some nice spacers from motorsport-tech for my 01 TT, 20+25MM. 5X100 are a custom size but they are made to order any size and fitment at good prices with wheel bolts included. its best to measure how much you want, is car lowered, make sure tires will not hit fenders on hard bounces, be sure spacers are thicker than stock hub centrics if you get hub + wheel centric spacers which are best, its your choice and what look you like
