Hi René
I will try and see what I can do for you on the pictures for wheel arch space
Mine has no spacers on either front or back and I had to get extended bolts for the kahn wheels (5mm longer than normal audi bolts)

Yes very late, but I dont have the fantastic garage and workshop facilities that you do and seem to have been permanantly in Ireland for about the last 2 months lol
Anyways I thought Winter had slipped around to January > march due to global warming?
PS when are you gonna do my damn service indicator again?? !!!!
