Hey guys,

I decided to put 20mm spacers in the back wheels (rockin stock 18s) so I swapped out my H&R 10mm spacers to jump in the front. after I put the 20mms on, I unbolted the front wheels, and my spacers dont fit! seems that the HUB ring is smaller than my front rotors, I'm starting to speculate that my front rotors are not OEM as my indy had told me that they did 100% order OEM fronts for me (this was like 1.5 years ago!) I never had a problem putting on wheels, etc. just that the hub ring on the spacers seem to be way too small for my front rotors.

anybody have a measurement of the stock rotors and a pic of it?

thanks!

The H&R spacers are different for the front and rear. The rear spacers will not work on the front.

^ this. The 10 mm spacers should be wide enough that they are wheel-centric, meaning a small ring sticks out of the spacer to fit into the wheel bore. On the front bore, which extends further than the rear, the hub will hit this ring

What's up Gary? If they don't fit then they aren't the correct part #. I have no problems with the 10mm's I run all the way around.

Same. I ended up buying 2 pairs off of ebay a while ago because I didn't know that they were different.

oh hmm, so i'll have to find "front" spacers?? any clue what the bore size is!??

Crap, just ordered 10mm spacers for my front today. Gotta see what I ordered. Thanks for this thread.

The bore is the same, 66.6

You problem is shown in the picture below. the spacer on the left is hub AND wheel centric, since the rear hubs don't extend as far out, the spacer has to be centric to the wheel. In the fronts, the hub goes far enough that the spacer doesn't stick out past the hub. You need a spacer like the one on the right

The front spacers you need will look like this:

The pic of the spacer on the right is not hubcentric and will produce vibration. H&R only offers hubcentric spacers in 10mm and above. These are what the fronts should look like.

thanks guys! will order another set today

advans

just ordered a set of these spacers, hope they work.

dynomite05

They should, I have come across a few people using Ichiba's with no problems.

advans

thanks wes! I'm just gonna run these wheels for the last season before the official part out!

Don't forget me man, the head lights will complete my exterior mods.

advans

yahhh most likely, crossing my fingers that a B8 RS4 will arrive.

dynomite05

Wow, you have a nice stable there!

advans

finally got the spacers in!

Hey advans did you get them put on yet? This is just for looks (wider stance) correct?
