A6 C7 Wheel Spacers and Lowering Advice

[ZerosGiven]

Hi there,

I’m looking to slightly space out the wheels (around 10mm) and lower the suspension by approximately 20mm. Has anyone done this before? If so, do you have any advice on the best products or brands for these upgrades?

I don’t want to go overboard, just a subtle adjustment to improve the look and feel. My budget isn’t huge, so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Hi my advice would be to leave well alone, the type of modifications you suggest may well throw the suspension geometry way out therefore taking it beyond any adjustment that currently exists naturally on the original set up, it is doable but will involve some serious spending as you will have altered the offset of the wheels massively with your current wheels being designed for that specific car.

Hi

I agree with Steve. Wheel spacers put undue load on the axle bearings, and you would probably have to declare them to your insurance company as well.

It’s a shame the OP is yet to read any of the responses.
