Spacers, Tein Springs - what to do
 
Hi All,

I recently lowered my car with tien springs, and like the height and ride comfort that I have achieved. I also am running 17"'s (235/45/17) and was thinking about putting some spacers to bring the wheels to the fenders.

From my reading, in this forum, I see that 8mm for the front and 15mm for the back will do the trick, but I have some questions, and was hoping that anyone can shed some light:

1. If I put the spacers, will I get any rubbing on the fenders?
2. Are these sizes correct?
3. I heard that you can get vibration - depending on the size you go, will I be oaky with these?
4. Any downside to doing this?
5. I live in the GTA - any recommendations as to where to buy/install?
6. Do I need to get longer bolts for this?

I have a 2004 A4 1.8TQ.

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think that I should have mentioned I am a noob! :)

Thanks.

Great, just got the info, it is 17" x 7.5" +35. I am not sure what the +35 means as well, can you let me know?

Thanks.
