Just wondering if anyone is looking to get spacers.
I know this guy who has them and is willing to give us a group rate.

This is what he said he can do:

"Of course I can do a group discount. If you can get 5-10 people I can give you 15% off, if you can get 10+ I can give you 30%. I can meet you to give them all at once to you (or someone else from the group) or ship them all to you together (can give you shipping cost when i know the order size) or even ship individually (shipping is extra and its dependable on where they need to be shipped)

On top of that, I will give you one coupon for every 2 pairs ordered with 15% discount for future orders (only one per purchase may be used)."

So some other info about the spacers:
- 6061 T6 Aluminum (aircraft grade)
- CNC machined
- hubcentric, wheelcentric and studcentric
- sizes available: 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm
- bolts: 14mmx1.5mm 45mm long (good with up to 20mm spacer),
- regular prices: 10mm-$45/pair, 15mm-$55/pair, 20mm-$65/pair, 25mm-$70/pair, bolts-$11/set of 5pcs

If you have questions, I can try to answer or you can contact him directly through phone or email. Just dont forget to mention the forum name in your email.

If you are interested, pm me with the info (car make, model, year, bolt pattern - if you know it, center bore - if you know it, thickness and how many pairs)

1 pair = 2 spacers
1 set = 4 spacers (or 2 pairs duh)

Note: he wants payment upfront

 

Those are some very inexpensive spacers - do you have any references for their quality? Not doubting or anything, and it's not exactly difficult to make spacers, but you never know.

If they make bolt-on spacers with studs in them, I'm in for a pair of 20mm 5x100s. I'll contact them with some Q's, and get back to you.

If the quality is there, this is a serious deal to jump on guys!

 

Well, I've talked to a couple of people that ordered from him. They said they were happy with the quality and that they looked great. I had the chance to check them out once myself, they seem pretty good, I mean they have the right bevels and chamfers and the lip doesn't seem flimsy (it has some thickness to it)

I don't think they make the bolt-on ones. They are not on the site.

 

Hey guys, maybe not the correct thread for this, but I figured it'd be the best place to get an answer and might help out others who may be interested.

I've had 2 previous cars that were lowered and I always considered spacers to be for situations where you want to raise a vehicle and push the wheels outward. Like when raising a Jeep or something.

Traditionally, when lowering cars, you wanted the wheels inside the wheel well so that you don't rub on the fenders with suspension travel. Or for more extreme applications, to have the wheels tucked completely.

Why is it that the spacers seem to be a hot topic with Audis? I'm sure I am missing a small piece to the puzzle here.

Thanks.

 

Spacers are purchased for any one of, or a combination of, the following reasons:

- Aesthetics
- Clearance for specific wheels (different offset; clearance for suspension components, etc.)
- Clearance for larger brakes

There are some pros/cons in how they affect the vehicle's dynamics, but they are nearly negligible.

Cons:

- There will be more force applied to the wheel bearings due to an increase in the length of the lever arm.
- The path of the suspension travel will be slightly altered due to an increase in radius from the pivot point.
- Increase in rotating mass.

Pros:

- Lateral grip will be slightly increased due to a wider track. As mentioned, you'd be hard-pressed to measure a very small difference in performance even in a road-racing application.
- Aesthetics.

 

Ok thanks. It's good to know there is no special reason for Audis to require them other than the traditional reasons for wanting them on any vehicle.
