Wheel spacers to enable trims fitting?

Post by Tex Ritter »

Howdy! Got a lovely set of VW wheel trims in a job lot recently, trouble is they are about 15mm too shallow for my sticky out hubs. Can you get thinnish spacers for the front wheels, or is it better to flog em?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

you can get spacers in 3mm, 5mm, 10mm, 20mm,

try german & swedish

if you want to put spacers on you will need longer wheel bolts for the front & longer studs for the back about £50 for both + the cost of the spacers, about £15 a set


I personally wouldnt both mate
