I have a 04 R32 and I am getting new wheels for it. I'm getting the cast NUE's staggered 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear. The stock offset for a r32 is et35 and the 8.5 NUE is offered in et35 and et45 and the 9.5 is offered in et25 or et35. I don't want any poke I just want these wheels to sit flush with the fenders. Which offset and how big off spacers would you get? When I bought my car it had ecs spacers on the front and rear with the stock aristos and it vibrated really bad to the point where I couldn't drive the car. I took the spacers off and now it is so much better to drive and enjoyable. I was reading about the hubcentric spacers and it said how they don't cause the car to vibrate. Is that true?

With hubcentric spacers you shouldnt have any of those wobble-problems. This is because your wheels don't actually center on the nuts/bolts, but on the centre bore. The nuts/bolts just make sure they don't fall off:P. With too wide slip-on spacers, the wheels have some play on the center, causing a lot of wobble. Don't be scared to use spacers, just use hubcentric ones with the correct length bolts.

as for what size spaces you should use... take some dimensions of your current setup, and play with www.willtheyfit.com.

I just talked to the guy at Rotiform and he said that you can only do hubcentric spacers on 12mm and up and that with regular 5mm spacers there shouldn't be any vibrations. But 42DD lists that they have hubcentric 5mm spacers.Comment

Well, I don't know what size spacers you want/need, but if possible, try getting hubcentric ones. If they're really thin, the wheel can still center on the hub bore, so that wouldn't be a problem.Originally posted by anerness View PostComment

I'll be getting the NUE's in 35 offset and with a 5mm spacer all around I should be sitting flush. So I'll just get these in a hubcentric 5mm. http://store.42draftdesigns.com/VWAu...ers_p_382.htmlOriginally posted by DDM View PostComment
