20mm spacers

[Aimez]

Yes they are too expensive but theses are better quality ones they cost more basically and ig you get the ones with longer wheel bolts unless you are not bothered the bolts are nto locking ones so you have tof rok out for that AS WELL! You guys are all referring to ebay ones not as good quality and heavier but like you I am not bothered lol!

I still am very confused why there are two different types why did you guys chose ones with or without longer bolts then?

I am however bothered about not having locking wheel nuts and it will cost more to get them.

Doesn't look like AC do ones with longer bolts any more or are they the ones they call non-hubcentric, I have always read they are best to steer clear of?

Only ever get a little scrubbing when giving it the beans over some BIG bumps , but thats on both front and rear.

If I raised it 10mm it prob wonte scrub what so ever.

Hi aimez did you buy these spacers if so have you fitted them yet also hows the quality as i am thinking about some myself would you say they are worth the money?

 

[Aimez]

Only bought them this morning as was a bit confused about the postage and had to ask if they could deliver to my work as if they are not singed for you end up paying for them to go back!
Should have them tomorrow according to their email but I won't fit them until I have got this http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=3415

^^ Bah! Just fumble for 10minutes with the wheel balancing on your knee as you arch backwards to try and line up the studs and the hub/spacer Save yourself £15

 

[Hartosh1]

Ok i think im just gonna go ahead and order them anyways you reckon they are worth it?

 

[Aimez]

I will buy it as the last time I took a wheel of it went very badly wrong as they were torqued so tight my dad had to help and he slipped and nicked the wheel taking a chunk out! Stupid wheel design on my standard wheels and now on my vRS ones (and most!) wheel nuts are so deep in the wheel it is so easy to damage them! As it was the wheel we were taking off was damaged and going to be refurbished anyway but all my wheel are still perfect and trying anything to keep them that way tbh.

Hartosh, yeh I think so a lot of people on here have AC ones never heard of any problems.

 

[Hartosh1]

Nice one just ordered myself a set although i still need to pay haha but looks like pay pal is undergoing some work

 

[knight85]

have the AC ones...no problems at all, very easy to fit, takes 10 minutes! but they are quite heavy

Is there any benefit to having spacers on the front wheels aswel? how would it affect handling? Planning on getting some for the back anyway.

 

[Aimez]

Been told it is dangerous on the front as it affects the handling and steering in a bad way prob make your tyres wear unevenly too.

Got them today and lots of top quality car cleaning products! They are very heavy yes!
