I was looking at the ECS wheel spacers and wanted to know if anyone has them or has any info on them. I'm also having my engine mounts replaced right now, and was wondering if I should order the snubmounts made by APR. I have a 96 2.8Q and I run it fairly hard. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

Are they replacing the timing belt and waterpump right now too? And yeah a new snub mount is a good idea.

 

actually i just had the timing belt, water pump & thermostat replaced. It was replaced once at 60k, and now it has 136k miles on it. Do the wheel spacers make any difference in handling or body sway or anything? In any case, they look cool as hell, so if there's no negative effects, i'll probably get em since they're so cheap. I'm assuming theyre very easy to install as well, but I may be wrong about that.

 

adding wheel spacers increases the wheel bearing load. Audi wheel bearings already suck as is. If you do use them, use hub centric spacers. How many mm's were you thinking of going? You may need longer wheels bolts too.

 

I just wanted to make my stock 16's flush with the fenders, but I don't know if I want to get into changing out the wheel bolts, that sounds expensive. Also, are hub centric spacers different than the ones ECS has?
