I have the 18" wheels.


I would not use regular spacers and longer bolts for 20mm or wider. You can get hub centric spacers that use your stock bolts with lugs and nuts to attach your wheels. They aren’t cheap, but shouldn’t wear out your wheel bearings so fast.

I believe porsche recommends using equal spacing front and rear. I could be incorrect though, just remember a thread with that mentioned.

Please read carefully? I read for a ****************ing living.**************** off.

You're from Seattle? I'm sorry. I'll try to speak slower next time.

Have a nice day.

Yes, you are missing something, I was simply responding to the question from "ShortRound " as to if there was any rubbing. Perhaps you should be venting your frustration to "ShortRound" he asked the question.
Sorry, I did not intend to question your intelligence or manhood.

Thank you for pointing that out. Please accept my apology.

Yeah... Shortround. WTH.

No apology necessary, thank you and, again, my apology for the comment.

Clearly I wasn't bragging about girth. Fitting in 6 dicks wouldn't be fitting, no pun intended, for a well endowed man. Maybe I should have said 1 dick.

Well A8 certainly has no dick room with the 20mm spacers in! Hahaha maybe a finger

Well have my 15mm spacers and lug bolts on hand now. Hopefully, get them installed Saturday.
