wheel spacers

[astragsidude]

Hi, i have reiger wide arch kit on but my wheels are too far under arches now. And i dont want to get rid of my alloys what do i do. Is it a case of wheel hub spacers?

Yep, spacers, longer wheel bolts , How much do you need to space the out .

Meh to longer bolts, convert to (longer) studs instead.

ive got 18" wheels and i measured the distance from wheel to arch lip and front is 35mm and rear is 50mm i didnt think it would be that much but they are on now to the point of no return. ive been told to get drive shafts and hubs from mk4 but is this true or hubcentic spacers do the trick. cheers guys...

If your planning on using spacers, anything over 5-10mm defo go for some hubcentic spacers, in my experience longer bolts are no worse than longer studs so whatever is easiest for you.

why not get bigger wheels? these arches take some filling. I was in same position when I purchased my kit, just spent £800 on new rims but bit the bullet and now have azev 8.5x17 with 215/35/17 front and rears are 10x17 with 245/35/17 rear and are et15. It's a waste going to efforts of doing the kit and fitting wrong wheels.
