has anyone noticed performance benefits?

the only real use is to accommodate larger brakes and/or low offset wheels...and for cosmetics. the slight increase in track comes at the price of a slight increase in stress on the dampers/springs, which theoretically could increase wear and decrease performance.

rubbing in the front under really agressive driving. The rubbing is just the tire touching the wheel well liner.

thanks for the insight?

when I was doing a barely safe 60mph. And I know a few peeps who use them essentially as shuttle cars for in town driving and have cars more like ours for fun driving.

My suspicion is that many who buy them don't understand their profile, including safety features and long term costs.

Still think the short to mid-term answer is turbo-diesels, and hope that Audi really does put a HP TD on our streets within 3-5 years, as Johan has represented they will.

the suspension is basically a second-class lever...if you move the load further away from the fulcum, the output force (on the dampers) must increase.

thanks for puttin up the photos of your car. very nice looking. does it handle any differently? any adverse effects to your car or drivability?

Do it right and get correct fitting wheels. Only as a last resort if you MUST do spacers, make sure they're hub-centric and use the correct length wheel bolts - I think it's a minimum of 6 turns, but not too long either.

no noticeable difference to me.

and a 10 or 15mm spacer on an RS4 is not going to cause any problems

can you help i have rs4 avant and i am thinking about putting wheel spacers on it . should i put 10mm spacers on and if so where can i get them from.
do the wheels catch with 10 mm spacers as i some times have 4 people in the car .
think your photos look mint .
hope you can help me thanks
