stop the bus,you don't want them mate as they aren't hubcentric

20mm spacers you want to be looking at hub centric as said above and bolt on.

 

[Webby.]

You see I did not know this... So I should be looking for 20mm hub centric, what does that mean?

the centre of the spacer sits in the hub, basically.

 

[Scottie203]

the centre of the spacer sits in the hub, basically.

it means the spacer sits on the spigot on the hub neatly so its still located centrally,the new spacer also comes with a spigot on so the wheel can locate centrally,non hubcentric spacers are basically just a big washer with holes in so the only thing centralising the wheel is the wheel bolts which could be a bit off causing the wheel to be off centre and resulting in a lot of vibration,which is obviously bad

For the OP's benefit - does the MK3 still use a 60.1mm bore like a MK2?

+1 bolt-ons are the way to go with 15mm+

ill give him a quick pm then, thanks... i know 20mm might sound a lot but on the mk3 the wheels are so far in and the arch gap is so bad haha
