Spacers are absolutely fine, I run 15mm spacers on my track car, hard kerb riding, real abuse, they are H&R hubcentrics, longer tapered bolts, that’s it.
The TT needed a wider track for better handling, I’d run reputable ones on the S8 no problem, H&R, Eibach, Bilstein, etc Also if you keep 265 or 275 your speedo is still accurate (no margin for error with the 275 btw) |

Btw, 10J at ET35 and you wouldn’t need spacers, only if you are running 9J stock wheels

I think their 9J attached a photo, 10mm might get a better stance, saw that they had some 16mm ones at micksgarage for the D3 but dubious of the quality, rather get H&R

Yeah, they will be 9J width if they are D3 wheels. (D2 'Final Edition' wheels of the same design are 8.5J for reference).
Got a set of those at the moment which I'm considering getting new rubber for so I'm after the same size tyres. You can get a complete set of four new ditch-finders for £250 but of course it's worth paying more for tyres from a premium manufacturer, being the only points of contact between you and the road.

I have Vredestein on my M6, good tyres! They aren’t ditch finders, contrary to the belief of some. Really good in the wet and that’s with 550BHP and rear wheel drive!
