What size rear spacers required
« on: October 20, 2013, 12:07:24 am »
Just fitted ED 30 rims on my MK 5 and they sit in at the rear compared to the Eos rims that were fitted
They were ET44 and 8x18 and the Pescaras are 7.5 x 18 and ET 51
What size spacer to make them sit the same as the EOS rims ?

12mm or 15mm is the closest available off the shelf size to bring the Pescaras close to how the eos wheels sat if my math is correct  :smiley:
7mm to make up in 'lost' offset + 6.35 in 'lost' wheel width = 13.35 spacer required so either 12 or 15mm depending on how you want it to look really
