Wheel spacers on FR

[robby71]

I've just fitted a set of 17" Audi alloys with winter tyres to my 2016 FR and as the offset is different they now sit 5mm further in (closer to struts),
I plan on fitting 5mm spacers to bring it back to oe spec and was wondering if i need longer bolts?
If i fitted 10mm spacers would this be too much or would it be a better look/ ride (so 5mm further out than standard)?
Ride height is stock

Cheers

Audi A3 has the same ET as a 2016 FR. Other Audis usually have lower ET (35) so they ought to be further out.

I have 11mm spacers on my Fr, definitely needed longer wheel bolts

The wheels i bought are 7.5x17 ET56 where the standard FR ones were 7.5x18 ET51 so 5mm difference

Genuine Audi A3 wheels with an offset of ET56 were manufactured. These were originally fitted to the 8P version of the Audi A3 that was built between 2004-2012). Try a Google search on Part number 8PO 601 025 C to see some examples.

Hehe, sorry, I must learn to keep my mouth shut
I had genuine A3 wheels on a Golf mk6, ET50.

Checked earlier and no rubbing but ordered a set of 4mm spacers so will only be out by 1mm from standard

piece of mind in case i carry something heavy and it does rub
