What Wheel Spacers for GT Sport?

[NotNormal]

When I had my mk5 gt170 sport TDi I ran 15mm rear with 12mm front, on the 17" classix wheels, on eibach sportline springs.
It didn't catch, rub or cause any negative effects.
Wen I sold the car, 55,000 miles, they were still going strong. (Had the car from new)

Hi u got any pics of the set up how it looked cheers wanting to do the same

Do a search for my build thread on my old car - plenty of pics there

Would that be 15mm each side or split looking at getting some soon

The gap isnt to bad....look at my build thread, will be updating it this week so have a look when i do "My black mk5 GT sport!"

Hope that helps

Awesome, cheers mate  

12mm on the front sounds good....was originally thinking 20mm on the rear but is that too much?

Need to start a project thread to be honest

20mm is too much,  it'll catch the arches.

If you search though my bound thread post on my old car, I think there is a side shot so you can see how much space is/isn't left running the 15mm spacers

Hope it helps

Hi buddy.
20mm will be fine to be honest.. you want to use bolt-on spacers rather than bolt-through ideally.. just seems nicer and easier and more secure in my mind.
I have 17x7.5 et 36 at the back and could probably get 30mm spacers on if I really wanted.. never caught even at my ride height.
They are originally 17x7.5 et56 to which I have bolted 20MM H&R spacers.



If you want the flush look ET31 is about perfect on a 7.5 to be honest :D
