Default Do my wheels have spacers? (Pics)

Can someone tell me if these babies have spacers on ‘em?

305’s at the rear, 20’s. PASM suspension with H&R springs.

I can’t tell if the person who had it before me also put spacers, as the wheels seem very flush with the fender (more than stock photos I’ve seen), but I don’t know what to look for in relation to how a stock car looks behind the wheel.

Thanks.

Sure looks like there are spacers.

The edges of the spacers are visible through the spokes. They are obvious aluminum disks bolted onto the car between the wheels and the axles.

I'd be more worried about my broken spoiler if I were you.

Thanks! Yeah it seems it does. I’ll check where you mentioned though.

Are those factory wheels? If they are aftermarket then likely they just nailed the fitment.

Your car does look incredible with that color.

Colours look great but, umm...couldn't you just remove a wheel and find out? Fairly basic skills and tools required.


And yeah, turn down your viagra dosage. Your spoiler has a hard on.

Thyre actually HRE’s. Could be fitment? I’ll look into it when I’m at the car. And thank you! I’m constantly in disbelief when I look at it. I can’t believe it’s mine! I’m in a constant state of drooling, basically.

You don't need to remove the wheel. Just post a close up picture of the hud hats.

FYI You don't need to remove your wheels to see spacers. When I was running spacers on my oem wheels, prior to the HRE's, I took this pic. The black piece with the writing on it is the spacer.

You in fact have a 7.5mm spacer

Sure, its easy with colour contrast. Not so easy if they are the same colour and have been on for a few years. I have ECS spacers on my Macan, and there is no way to tell they are on there.

Interesting! My HRE’s seem to just extend out a bit and I don’t feel anything in between. Seems no spacers.

HRE's are custom, so you can manipulate the offset to essentially create the same effect as the factory wheel as a spacer.
