Pic Request

Post by mk4polo »

Hi,
Please could you post your pics of GTIs fitted with wheel spacers and using the stock 15" BBS RxII wheels??

Could you also let me know, what size spacers youve used on the front and rear??

Would be great if a few people could do that

Regards

Wouldn't think there would be many.

Though I think Josh had spacers on the rear of his GTi when he had it. Believe there's a pic in the GTi Photogallery.

Hi,
thanks for the reply,

in that case, think i will just have to give it a bash...

im thinking stock wheels could look great when slammed, they just need to fill those hench arches a bit more :) :wink:

Im running the standard bbs's with 10mm spacers front and rear. I did have 15mm spacers on the rear but it used to rub because it was a bit too low. I will try and take some pics later.

I look forward to that, was thinking of doing this myself, however need to know the safety issues....

I posted this question a couple weeks back and I had mixed responces, a few post on the length of the bolts and safety issues.

I just wanna research it right before I do any change.

the best way to use spacers is with a stud conversion. its not hard or expensive to do.

if you know of "Badger5", guy called bill brockbank, he sells spacers and stud kits,among loads of other vag tuning parts, if you dont know his details, i can pass them onto you.

anyone got any pics yet?? :D :D

I would like the details of Badger5. I'm currently looking into gettin some 16" alloys but finding that the ones i like are in 5 stud pattern only!

A wider stance can only improve the look of my dub! 8)
