Default 10mm Spacer? MTM sell 20mm for RS4?

So I've read through this forum and it seems 10mm spacer is the size of choice with stock wheels and MTM are the way to go. When I go to their site, they are touting 20mm for the RS4. What gives and where are you getting your 10mm's from?

Also, any tire wear or suspension tweaks required with the slightly wider track?

Cheers,
Mark

MTM sells in a set. So the 20mm set is actually 2 10mm spacers. H&R's are just as good. Just make sure that you get the 150mm (diameter) ones and not the 135mm's.

Why not just fit 275/30/19 tyres instead?

20mm is going to be too big, me thinks. I have 10mm in the back and they're perfect. Same up front. H&R. Works perfectly. Check a 20mm fitment before you commit, me thinks.

The correct size is 10mm, and MTM makes a perfectly fitted 10mm spacer the RS4 wheels. The inner bevel on the stock RS4 wheel is matched perfectly by the bevel on the spacer. Not all spacers have this design feature. Looks great. No rubbing whatsoever with stock suspension and tires. No hint of any vibration or odd sensations.

MTMs are 20mm/axel - so that's 10mm per wheel.

Do you have those spacers on? And are you keeping them on when you put on your new wheels on?
