Will just need to reset the tpms when you change wheels.

Are the wheels you want wider so no need for the spacers?
Any particular ones, brand to look at getting? I've had a quick look on eBay, but choice is vast on there and if I were too buy some sets I'd like decent ones.

The ones I have are h&r but they were second hand but had a good deal as it included bolts and locking bolts.Andy1273 wrote: Sat Nov 17, 2018 3:08 pmTo clear the brakes? Why?Dink wrote: Sat Nov 17, 2018 1:54 pm I'm running 15mm on the rear of my gti and then 12mm on the front to clear the brakes.
