Wheel help with R32 brakes
« on: June 21, 2014, 12:18:11 pm »
I need some help, I've got R32 brakes on my Octavia and the wheels catch the calipers, I've put spacers on which clear the calipers but are now causing me a vibration.

Can anyone help with what 18 inch wheels will fit without spacers but still clear the calipers?? as I'll try and find some wheels and swap my tyres over.

I always thought OEM octavia vrs 18s clear R32 brakes without spacers? Failing that most OE VW/Audi and seat 18" rims should work, even 17" Monzas and some 17" Audi ones will clear without spacers  :happy2:

What thickness spacers are you using and are they hubcentric?

If your spacers are not hubcentric then thats your problem, could be wrong but that is what i'd check 1st.

17" VW Classix also fit.
