Spacers F & R

[dervpower]

Anybody put any spacers on the front?

Offers a full set for H&R 25mm jobbies for £120. Think it could look rather sweet.

Also had a quick search, but just remind me, what size centre I would need. (57.1mm i think)

You dont want spacers on the fron, Will.

FWIW, 57.1mm bore..

 

[dervpower]

I never did, but noticed these, then looked at the car, thought it would "look" good.

I'll just get rears then Mmmm 25mm wide!

 

[Damoegan]

I'm running 20mm each side

 

[dervpower]

Ebay has none at present

Clicky

Good man! Wonder if I can get them by sunday? Wait for the 25mm chap to get back to me.

A little dear mind...

I have 20mm hub on the back, and bought 1s for the front but had them on for 10 miles and it was some dodgy drivin! i'll sell u mine for £35 if u want!

dont spacers put strain on the bearings and mess your car up? i was goin to put some on my ibiza but a friend told me not to coz il have to keep replacing something coz it puts strain on the bearings? is this right? cheers

if you use hubcentric spacers you'll be fine. its the dodgy universal ones where the weight of the car is on the bolts that are a problem

 

[ibiza64]

so theres no adverse affects from using spacer? no damage? with hubcentric

 

[truss]

can't see how, lots of people use them. the hubcentrics are almost an extension of the hub and universal jobbies are literally a spacer

My g/f is running 20mm back and 15mm front hubcentric spacers on her Fabia, no adverse effects, plus looks much better.

I spoke to a mechanic today, and a few other people on VW Enthusiasts sites.
They say you NEED hub-centric anything else can cause damage and put strain on the bearings.

I've talked to someone who has 20mm on the front of his golf with no issues to date,
I've spoke to another person who owns both a Corrado and a Jetta, Both he runs round castle combe on a regular basis, he's taken them on and off and on and off and their 25mm.

Never had any problems to date...
