on mine i had 15 mm in front and 20 mm in the back. the only way i had a rub, was when there was a big pot hole.

did you have to buy a set of 30mm to get 2 15s. or just where did you get urs? and did you sell the gti yet? i would think that it would go fast. sorry if its going slow. good luck with it man.

Don't go too agressive on the spacer as it's a lot of stress on the wheel bearings.

It depends on your wheel width and offset. Some people get smaller, and some bigger spacers.

For example, on my 8" wide wheel with 35mm offset, I don't need any spacers up front as the wheel is already flush with the fender.

30mm is too big for a spacer IMO. 20mm is the max for me.

No 2 cars will require the same size spacers, unless they have the same size wheels and ride height. Just measure how far you want the wheel pushed out and determine your spacer. If your wheels are the proper offset the car, a 15mm spacer should be way more than enough.

ok thanks guys. ill call Renn Art to see what would be right or if i should even bother.

Spacers are sold by individual size.

15mm spacers are two 15mm, I had 15mm on the rear of my car at HIN last year, (when it used to be nice LOL) even with pretty generously rolled fenders it chewed up the tires pretty good from the rubbing.

I can vouch for that, just make sure you roll your fenders good.

Do you have coilovers yet?

Stop modding your car and do something that helps. Spacers and all this crap don't do anything. Get some coils, don't necesarily even go slammed but get rid of go awful wheel gap.

Spacers, body kits, wheels, and fancy paint don't make up for wheel gap and poor handling.

True that, get some suspension. Stock suspension sucks, if you don't want to lose ride height too much get a shine suspension, srsvw.com ultimate handling man.
