As the title says I guess. I'm looking for pictures of a mark 3 VRS with wheel spacers to help decide if we should get some fitted to our VRS hatch.

This is mine with now with 12mm all round and lowered on H&R springs with the 19's on.

And the other pic is with 12mm front and 20mm back. I still have the 20mm if you fancy them send me a on and we'll sort something out

Hi - I am also looking at spacers for my vrs combi. I think the 12 front 15 rear seems a decent set up. I got this reply from an on-line retailer:

Thanks for the enquiry.

These are the spacers that you require:

12mm front: https://www.carnoisseur.com/products/details/hr-trak-wheel-spacers-to-fit-skoda-octavia-34

15mm rear: https://www.carnoisseur.com/products/details/hr-trak-wheel-spacers-to-fit-skoda-octavia-35

We can offer these with a set of H&R longer bolts (at £3.00 each).

We can also offer you a set of H&R longer locking wheel bolts at £35.00 for the set.

The total to pay including £5.95 carriage is £237.75. You can expect delivery within 5 working days.

If you would like to place an order the easiest thing is probably just to give us a call on 01582 787377. Ask for Patrick.

I have 15mm front and 20mm rear, bought the Watfields ones from eBay, £34 a pair including extended bolts. Haven't bothered with replacing the locking nuts tbh.

How does it affect the handling?

I don't really notice much difference to be honest, I doubt many people this side of Lewis Hamilton would.

Having said that, I'm pretty sure it straddles those annoying speed humps better though.

My Mkii VRS had an uprated rear anti roll bar, Eibach springs and Whiteline Anti Lift Kit, so I do find the Mkiii a bit softer. Being a 4x4 helps get the power down a lot better though, and I've yet to spin up a front wheel on a tight corner where the last one would.

Do you have a picture? Is your lowered?

Not lowered, no. I actually haven't seen much available suspension wise for the 4x4?

I'll try and post a photo in the next day or so.

   

 

Sorry, not great photos.

Perfect, thank you.

Like the look of these. Another upgrade for the list!

Hi Mate,

Got any links for the spacers you used ?

Also with the 20mm in the back if you load the car, do you have any issues?

Lowered on H&R springs and H&R spacers 20mm/15mm front rear.  look on ebay.de they are the best value for the quality.

Thanks!!!.

 

They look good on your car.

 

I was shocked when i looked at the profile view of my car and the sheer gap between the wheel arches and the tyre, hopefully these spacers will bring the wheel out enough so they dont look like their hiding in the wheel arches.

 

So what is the actual differences between say H&R spacers and something like Watfields Precision spacers, H&R are like almost twice as much!!?. Surely their cant be that much different all it is is a lumb of aluminium alloy after all

As long as they are 5x112 PCD and have a centre bore of 57.1, they will be fine. They're not Skoda specific.

 

Rear wheels sit further in to the wheel arches than the fronts, so slightly wider on rear looks better.

15/20

Should i be getting radius or tapered bolts, i have the standard 18" wheels

Radius bolts if you have the VRS standard wheels
