The MK6 GTI wheel spacers are advantageous for wheel performance upgrades. By enlarging the track width, wheel spacers provide better traction, handling, and stability. In addition, widening the track gives your car a sporty and powerful look. If you put a wheel spacer on your car, it’s going to pull your tire farther out and away from the hub assembly.
In most cases, this can prevent the wider tires from rubbing against the fender flares or suspension components. There are various wheel spacers available in the market. Different sizes of spacers allow you to control how far the wheels can be pushed out. But, what sizes of MK6 GTI wheel spacers are best? In this post, we will explore the safe sizes and top brands.
How to Choose the Right MK6 GTI Wheel Spacers Sizes?
Generally, spacer size and design directly affects the performance of your car. Therefore, it requires some basic measurement. Take a straight edge and place it against the outermost part of the rims/tires, then measure from the outside wheel to the fender line. If the value is about 12mm, then 12mm wheel spacers provide a perfect flush stance.
If you just need a few clearance to fit a big brake kit, then 3mm to 5mm spacers are better. They are perfect to clear bigger brake calipers without drastically altering the OEM wheel style. If you added a wide-boy kit with stock wheels and tires, you would need above 30mm wheel spacers to avoid rubbing issues. A wide-body car with proper wheel spacers looks bolder and more powerful.
What is the Bolt Pattern on MK6 GTI Wheel Spacers?
The bolt pattern of a Volkswagen Golf MK6 GTI is 5x112mm. What wheel spacers fit on a MK6 GTI? The 5×112 lug pattern is easily the most popular bolt pattern out there. That means you can easily find the new spacers for your car. Generally, specific hub-centric spacers can perfectly sit on the vehicle hub, meaning no extra stress, hence there is less chance of vibration.
