Wheel Spacers
Hey all question about wheel spacers. I have a 2002 TT ALMS 225 and am interested in purchasing some wheel spacers but have no idea which ones I can just bolt on. I am pretty ignorant in this specific matter. Can anyone who has done that help a brother out.
Where and what do I get?
Thanks

Get the H&R 25mm (1-inch wide) for the rear wheels...trust me
Really good quality and if you get the 25mm, you wont need to buy extra lug bolts since your wheels bolt on to the spacers with existing lugs. The spacers come with its own bolts to bolt to the hub. Then get the H&R 20mm spacers in front
I had the HR 25mm before and the car looked really nice. But decided to sell it since my bearing failed a few weeks after the spacer was put on. I had to pay $150 for a new hub bearing. It may just be a coincidence but its known that spacers put some stress on the hubs/bearing.

Re: Depends on the wheels that you have,...here is a calculator for the proper size...
I have the stock 18" but do have sport springs and coilovers on the car too. Any advice?

Some people here runs spacers for a while now with no issues..
Mine may be a coincidence specially at my mileage at 60K. I did not want to take a chance so I took them out.

If you get FK spacers, you can get the same "bolt on" action all the way down to 15 mm thickness -
with NO need to get longer bolts. This is VERY handy, and only FK (to my knowledge) offer it on hubs less than 25 mm thick.
I have only found one US vendor (at the link). You want the "B+" style.
I would suggest 15 mm front, and either 20 or 25 mm rear.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ngpracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=spacer5 x100">http://www.ngpracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=spacer5 x100</a</li></ul>
