    R8 with spacers

    Any pictures of your R8 with OEM 19 inch wheels and spacers? What sizes of spacers do you have? Front and Rear?

    I have the following choices:
    Front: 5mm or 12.5mm each side
    Rear: 12.5mm or 15mm each side

    There are no other sizes of spacers available and allowed in Switzerland.

    So it would be nice if you could send me pictures of your car with spacers so that I can make my decision.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Re: R8 with spacers

    I only know of 1 member here that was trying to use spacers on his aftermark wheels, (which shouldn't be the case) but was having issues with fitment on them.
    Most just go with aftermarket wheels, and have offsets made to sit flush with fender wells.

    Re: R8 with spacers

    Hey Martin,

    Here are some picks with 15mm spacers on my OEM tires that I was experimenting with before I received my HRE wheels. These spacers were taken off my Audi Allroad, but fit the R8 OEM wheels perfectly. Surprisingly, I only experienced rubbing once when I hit a medium sized bump in the road, and my car is lowered.

    I have some H&R 10mm spacers for the OEM wheels available that I used for about 3 weeks only. I thought they would fit the HRE wheels as well, but didn't. I take it you are in Switzerland, however.

    @CALBenzo, if you weren't so far away I'd post you one screw cap for your front left wheel. I got a few extras.

    LOL! I have it, but I was messing around with the wheels and didn't even notice that it wasn't on there.

    Harrison aka Harry also has spacers (or did have spacers) on his R8. He has a lot of pictures of his Jet Blue car on this web site.
