20mm wheel spacers fitted to S3

[fozzy280472]

Hi all , thought I'd share some pictures of my S3 with 20mm wheel spacers all round .
I always thought the S3 wheels didn't fill the arches enough so I thought I'd try spacers for a more V8 like track .
I'm happy with the look .

I think it looks better, too. The Imola wheels are a great choice IMO. You probably realise that the 16"s fit too if you are looking for a tyre upgrade.

Any harmful effects on steering kickback or feel?

Yours does look good on Imolas and those spacers are the way to go

I'm on 17's due to the front brake upgrade and I didn't want 30mm spacers to use the original 15's
no spacers on the rear but 10mm on the front (all in the wheel offsets)




mine does sit lower than most - check out the suspension wiki

Thanks for the comments chaps , I can't say I've felt any difference with the car as I've only been down to get the MOT done !
I must admit I do like the Imolas , I think the 8 spokes are a little bit fussy , I've kept mine though just in case I change my mind at a later date.

Or just get a set of 0 offset JBW minilites and look the best

[fozzy280472]

Never really liked Minilites. Each to they're own and all that .

Nice wheels, nice bonnet

And an excellent colour choice.

What’s wrong with the bonnet?

So that's 15", et0, but at what wheel width ?
Just asking, so that I can see what else is available.

Not an S4.

Right colour though. Wrong mirrors and interior colour.

[phillpot]

S4 bonnet, bit like a Terry's chocolate Orange, tap it on the corner and it falls into pieces

oh the lies we tell ourselves
