Barry told me he felt the stance of his Audi TTS was a bit on the weak side, so we had him roll through for measurements and scheduled an H&R wheel spacer install.

To take measurements, you simply determine just how far out (in millimeters) the wheels can come out in the fender without coming into contact with them. Since a suspension upgrade wasn’t planned any time in the near future we also had to take into account the stock suspension travel to make sure that on hard suspension compression the tires wouldn’t high-five the fender and push it out of place. It was determined that hub-centric H&R 8mm (p/n 1655572) front and 12mm (p/n 2455571) rear wheel spacers would push the wheels out just enough to offer Barry the aggressive stance he was after without any of the drama.

The difference in offset with the spacers is small but big enough to make a visual impact on the Audi TTS stance. Barry approves.

We determined the QuattroWorld.com Audi Q7 needed 18mm DR style H&R wheel spacers up front and 30mm DRA style spacers out back to even out the “stance” and give the Q7 a much more aggressive look. Mission accomplished!

We constantly preach stance, and Jeremy knew his 3.2L A5 suffered from a lack of… He was told to come to Achtuning to pick up some H&R spacers and based on 20mm and 25mm DRA spacers placed on previous A5s, Jeremy figured he’d do the same.

In this particular case however, a 20mm spacer up front was too much as the Goodyear tires mounted on the factory wheels were “meatier” and offered far less clearance behind the fender. Keeping with a 25mm DRA spacer in the back, 15mm spacers were selected up front this time to push the wheels out and provide that aggressive stance Jeremy was after without having tire to fender clearance issues. End result…
