    You could probably run 20 mm but you will be constricted to a no larger tire size. More rubber is a little better than less.10 mm spacers, and I still use 235 and 315 with NO problems. wider rear wheels can easily be run on the rear if the added width is to the inside of wheel wells. \"/

    So you think I can use the 20MM w/the stock wheels and tires?

    Harrisons wording above would suggest the answer is yes you can.

    Yes, spacers used when 4 spokes broke. Chroming may have been a factor. Audi kept my broken wheel . I wanted to make a coffee table out of that broken 11x 19.
