    A3 8V S-Line Spacers

    Hi all. Recently lowered my 2018 A3 with Emmanuele springs and love it. Now I’m considering spacers. My FTG is right at 25” all around, and I’m wondering if I can get away with 15mm up front and 20mm in the rear.

    I’ve read high and low and even on the VW forums. Everyone seems to be talking stock S3 19” wheels. Mine are OEM 18x8 ET46 with 225 tires - just curious if anyone is running this setup?

    Thanks!

    Yep, should be no problem.. I ran 15/20 on my factory 19's (S3) on 034 springs with room to spare. Doesn't matter 18 or 19, the overall diameter should be the same. Also, the 18"s ride better than the 19's. I took off my factory 19" and run 18's - 18x9 ET30 with the RS3 stagger of 255/235 (no spacers now)

    Anyone else with pics? I am debating on adding spacers as well.

    I have Neuspeed RSe102 that are ET45, so I run a 10mm rear and an 8mm front (and this was after trial and error of both a 20mm and 15mm rear first, and a 10mm front)

    Did you rub with the 15mm or 20mm in rear?

    12.5 front and 17.5 rear looks perfect to me with OEM wheels. Will be taking these off soon for new wheels and selling the matching lug bolts and spacers. Car not lowered.

    No rubbing, but the post immediately above this one may be the right way to go if they are OEM wheels

    You won’t regret it! The EMD springs look awesome and ride like a dream. Can’t say enough good about them! 15/20mm spacers have worked out perfectly.

    Yeah I wonder if I should’ve done 20mm in the front. Maybe when I go to aftermarket wheels.. hmmm..
