cheerz dude well took the car to its first show this weekend,Volksfling in scotland,was a disaster for us start to finish. the weather was gale force wind and heavy rain,the entrance to the show was a swamp(so car pulled up so much muck that the car was covered). our attempt to put up tent was a fai...

guy on a local forum has did this to his b5 audi,also running 17s

im not sure of the set up on the w8,but my ssat is dropped on 19s and i have no problems with arms,i know when i first lowered it it was close beforehand,but it still is the same distance now its dropped,ive had 3 different sets of 19s on the car. any good engineering shop should be able to sort a b...

just to add did it vibrate without the spacers?if not you may just have to scrap the spacers idea

if you are swapping them round put the buckled one on the rear and hopefully it will be better,i have had this problem lots of times and it bugged the life out of me,sometimes just moving the wheels about can help
good luck mate

aye i dont think they do hubcentric under 10mm
,and the rears would most likely be fine unless the imbalance was severe and then you would feel it coming through the seat,you only get front imbalance through the steering not from the rear

your pic shows they are not hubcentric as the wheel has nothing to slot onto
my hubcentric adapters to show the raised part for the wheel to slot onto

the diameter of the spacer should not be a problem, hubcentric means the wheel slots onto the hub inturn lining up the boltholes and the weight of the car is held onto this slot with the help of the wheel bolts,but without hubcentric which yours will be at 8mm the weight of the car is only held on w...

non hubcentric spacers will most times cause wheel wobble/imbalance especially with big wheels,as the whole weight of the car is now on the wheel bolts and not the hub.
as for your slight buckled wheel,put it on the rear and it should be ok

also love it

love this car,love bbs

nice one Daz,got chris' pics,and the kooshsters,and cheerz everyone for the good feedback :D http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s140/vardo76/219534_1534651224591_1784130992_936423_7365507_o.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s140/vardo76/218579_1534648984535_1784130992_936411_1813399_o.jpg http:...

thanks for the comments guys :D lowered and fitted the wheels today for its debut at a local meet,24hr asda came to the rescue tonight when i remembered i hadnt took any pics doh http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s140/vardo76/IMAG0558.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s140/vardo76/IMAG0559.jpg...

just be careful as im sure there is a few different silvers ,ie reflex silver,satin silver etc, i have some spare saloon b5 doors,but i have no idea how or what would be involved in sending it(but they are blue so that doesnt help you)and they are heavy buggers. id say your best bet would be a local...

i would say they are the same,maybe things like wiring,switches and trim would be different
the b5.5 is just a facelift model with the same chassis as the b5
