Anyone got wheel spacers....?

[Bassik]

I was just wondering if anyone as installed spacers on their pog? I wanna get the rear ones done but didnt know how wide i can go. Was thinking 10mm.

If anyone has them, care to lik pics or give any advice?

Cheers

I installed 10mm on both axles.

I found a worse response on the steering wheels: the car is less responsive, seems that you need to turn more the steering to have a pair response on the road...
Aesthetically of course it looks better, only now it seems that a lowering of the back of the car is needed, more than before...

To improve the response while turning I think I'll try to install 5mm at front axle, letting 10mm back...

Here's a couple of pics:

Yep - poking out the front wheels more increases the scrub radius which borks up your steering response. Plus they're illegal in most states in Australia.

The entire GTI is illegal over 4.000rpm...

Awesome thanks for the pics looks good. I was only interested in doing the rear. So it's illegal to install even on rear?
You can get away with it easy enough.

Are they 10mm each?

Aren't they illegal everywhere in Australia unless fitted standard?

Yes they are illegal but you'd be unlucky to attract attention driving a polo unless stupidity was involved.

Ehhh it aint a huge risk at all. It's not as if you can see a huge difference anyways.

Man I wish I got Xenons looks so much better!!!!

I don't believe I stated it was a risk...in fact that is exactly what I was inferring, that it wasn't a risk

Formally is illegal also in Italy, but the imperative is not to stick out from the wheel house...
10mm is not so much...

Consider that if a rim with a different offset is mounted, you could have the same problem: standard rims are ET46, Detroit rims are ET35, more than 10mm...
