Wheel spacers on 7.5 Trendline

[Lucas_R]

As mentioned, yes spacers are illegal - but so are many other mods we all do to our cars. Personally I run high quality Spulen spacers (15mm front and 20mm rear) on the stock rims on my Audi SQ5 and have never had an issue. I also had high quality SCC (same as H&R) 15mm spacers on my old Lexus IS-F - no issues.

I have also just purchased Burger Motorsports spacers for my Mk7 GTI which should arrive early next week.

The key with spacers is to avoid the cheap and nasty ebay junk and get good quality hubcentric ones and high quality bolts.

I have always used hubcentric H&R (German made) spacers on all my cars, no complaints at all.

Seen a guy who used a cheap eBay spacers, he narrowly avoided a disaster ..

Yes H&R are top notch, and no doubt better quality that what i am using.

I guess i would probably draw the line at 30-40mm with spacers though, any more than that I would be wanting new wheels with the correct offset.

And as mentioned by Dutch, respect for wanting to make your daughters car look cool. My daughter has just turned 5, and i get her to "help" me when servicing the car or doing mods etc. When she is old enough to have her own car I will be doing the same as you and wanting her to have something that looks good.
