Which should i go for on my octy vrs estate lowered 30mm?

Are you fitting any to the front?

 

Damian @ DPM Performance

Open to opinions. Was only thinkin rear but what ever people thinks best

I have 10mm hubcentric spacers on the rear..Looks perfect...as it should have been

I dont have them on the front ...yet

Any pics chris?

I have 15mm on the back of my Scout and wouldn't want to go any less, even with the et42 winter wheels.

My standard alloys are et51

This picture shows it I think:

and this:

The most popular combination we do is 10mm front and 15mm rear but it is down o wheel size and ET along with personal choice.

Mine are standard wheels like chris's.

I actually might get some 15mm spacers..so could change them around

BUT

New car in the frame next year..Audi TTs might prevent that..LOL

Any pics anddenton?

H&R hubcentric 8mm front 15mm rear

Excuse the winter rims

Does it make a big difference in the flesh richc? Same colour as mine that! Silver is defo the best colour. Lol

have not lowered mine but 20mm on rear.

16mm on the rear of my vRS combi.

18" neptunes

Not lowered but can rub on bumps.

 

I would go max 15mm.

I have 15cm FK spacers at the rear, the car is on eibach pro springs I have not had any issues with rubbing

 

attached is before and after pics

Does it do anythin to the handling charachteristics?

These are about the best I currently have:

 

Original wheels - 6.5j x 17" et50 with 225-50-17 tyres

 

Winter wheels - 6j x 16" et42 with 205-55-16

 

Both with 15mm spacers on the back.

They look like they stick out quite a bit

They don't stick out, just the angle of the photo, here's a quick pic on the phone from the office window, not sure how much you can see though, oh and this is with the et42 winter wheels on:

 

Anything over 10mm is too much with stock wheels, had 8mm on mine and tried 12mm before going back to 8 again. Found a use for them when i bought some steels with winter tyres, 8 on the front anf 12 at the back.

Any one running 15mm at the front? Not being RWD I'd like to keep the track all the same.

Sorry if it's mentioned earlier, I didn't seem to see it!

I ran 15mm and 20mm on my old Fabia with no issues on standard wheels and would like to do the same on the Octavia but with 15mm all around this time.
