It looks like I'm going to pick up a set of wheels off an '01 C4 tomorrow.
Fronts are: 7.5J x 17 H2 ET 52 Rears are: 9J x 17 H2 ET 47 I have 9" and 11" fiberglass flares on the car and I'm sure the outside space is not the problem. Doeas anybody have any idea how wide spacers I need to use and also, where is the best place to get them, and if they can be had in different price ranges. The guy wants $450.00 for the set with tyres and center caps, that's hard to beat. I understand my Ronal Racing wheels may be quite valuable to the right person, so this will allow me to try and sell them at a good price, and then maybe look for some nice Kinesys wheels, which I would really like. Thanks, Jens |

Yes, you will need spacers to clear the strut and rear wheel liner

My 9's have a offset of 15, standard GT flare.
You will need 47-15 = 32 (~1-1/4") PLUS more for the wider flares. maybe a 2-1/2+? |

Thanks,
I will just measure and get the right thickness spacers so the wheels fill out the fenders/flares. |
