Wheel spacers

I disagree with this advice. If you use a 5mm spacer, you need to have wheel bolts that are also 5mm longer (part # 996 361 980 02)!

Hi,

I'm glad you said it!

Why risk a $20k+ Car, not to mention Human Tissue, for a measly $120? I mean, these things are what keep the wheels on! Pretty BIG Job for such an uncelebrated part...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
