A General instructions for «Wheel Spacers»
Our wheel spacers have been developed to fit original wheels. When
using accessory or special wheels, in particular in vehicles with stud / nut
fixture, check whether the specified wheel requirements are met (e.g.
recess for insertion of original bolts).
Please note: the lager the wheel dimensions, the more the steering is
affected by the installation of spacers as regards vibration, which might
stem from improperly balanced wheels.
Article 21 approval: Spacers that are not listed in the technical component
report of a particular vehicle type but can nevertheless be installed
in this vehicle type, must be entered separately for vehicle approval in the
vehicle documentation, taking into account the vehicle strength (offset
limit according to 2% or 4% rule or certificate of vehicle strength). For
this purpose, you may resort to technical component reports of another
vehicle type, provided that the spacers in question are specified there.
Prior to purchase, always discuss the approval procedure and requirements
with the relevant testing body, in order to know the costs and the
certification requirements.
Spacers should always be installed by hand. Do not use electrical or airpowered
wrenches, as this might result in improper seating of the spacer
on the centre stud, leading to excessive vibration during driving.
T Homologation / technical component report, subject to registration;
approved in EU member states and Switzerland.
X Individual approval, subject to registration in EU member states and
Switzerland.
S1 When using the spacers you have to verify that the wheels being used
have suitable cut-outs / recesses to take up the original bolts: minimum
14 mm for 15 mm spacers; minimum 9 mm for 20 mm spacers and
minimum 4 mm for 25 mm spacers. Without these cut-outs, the original
wheel bolts in the wheel trunk must be replaced with shorter bolts
(system 5, 6) as its is otherwise not possible to mount the spacers!
S2 Except for model R5 (Tdi) LK 5/120.
S3 Only for front axle!
S4 For vehicles with (accessory) wheels without cut-outs / recesses for original
wheel bolts.
S5 Suitable for vehicles with a centre stud of up to 17.5 mm in height.
S6 Only for rear axle!
S7 Only for wheels with minimum 3.5x45° inner bevel!
S8 In certain S4 models only suitable for rear axle!
S9 When using the spacers, ensure that the wheels have suitable cut-outs /
recesses to take up the original bolts. Without these cut-outs, it is not
possible to use the wheels or the spacers! Please check in particular the
excess length of the original studs. (Example: Stud length 25 mm / disk
width 15 mm = 10 mm excess length or original bolt. In this case, the
cut-out should be minimum 11 mm deep. In addition, the height / width
of the recess must be minimum 22 mm in order to cater for the protruding
nut.) It is permissible to cut off the protruding wheel bolt with a
metal saw.
CAUTION: with 15 mm disks, a recess of minimum 5 mm depth is always
required, as the nuts protrude over the disk mating face.
S10 Suitable for vehicles with a centre stud of max. 11 mm in height.
S11 The wheel can only be centred by means of the wheel lugs! It might
therefore be necessary to balance the wheels after mounting in order
to eliminate vibration.
S12 Due to the various heights of the wheel centre stud in different models,
the spacer might not always be properly centred.
S13 In certain models, the system is only suitable for the front axle, as the
centre stud at the rear axle is too high. Suitable for centre bore heights of
up to 16 mm!
S14 In certain models, the system is only suitable for the front axle, as the
centre stud at the rear axle is too high.
S15 When using system 3/7, the original wheel bolts might be too long. In this
case, they must be replaced with shorter bolts. For the original screw dimensions,
please refer to the checklist.
S16 Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Hyundai vehicles come with various knurled
bolts, depending on the model, axle or year of manufacture. Before ordering,
please check the knurled diameter of the original knurled bolts at
both axles. Our standard kits include knurled bolts with a knurled diameter
of 14.9 mm (Subaru: 14.3 mm). Other knurled diameters must be
specified in the order.
S17 Suitable for vehicles with a centre stud of max. 16 mm in height.
S19 For vehicles with sliding doors, please check whether spacers of 25 mm /
30 mm can be installed!
S20 Not permitted for vehicles with a lightweight suspension (type 6E, Lupo
3L Tdi, Lupo FSI).

S22 In combination with spacer rings, 18" wheel / tyre combinations are only
permitted, if the wheel has been approved as original equipment.
S23 Not permitted for vehicles with steel wheels!
S24 In new models, the centre stud diameter might be greater than 54.1 mm.
In this case, the spacer cannot be used.
S25 In certain turbo models, the centre stud of the front axle has been modified
so that the system cannot be installed.
S26 In certain models, the system is only suitable for the front axle, as the
grease cap of the rear axle is too high. Maximum height of centre stud
with grease cap: 10 mm! Please check before ordering!
S27 The spacers and wheels are centred by means of the wheel bolts / nuts.
It might therefore be necessary to balance the wheels after mounting in
order to eliminate vibration.
S28 For system 3/7, replace the original wheel bolts with shorter ones. Order
no. for original wheels: S4-7-14-50-28-19. For accessory wheels, please
use the «Pro-Spacer» checklist!

S30 Before replacing the bolts, dismantle the wheel trunk.
S32 With 5 mm / 7 mm disks, there is no need to replace the studs, provided
that the thread pitch meets the requirements of the report.
S33 To install the spacers, replace the original wheel bolts with the supplied
long wheel bolts. This should be done in a specialist garage, as certain
vehicle models (e.g. new Volvo, Ford, Kia models) require dismantling of
the wheel trunk and / or the wheel bearing.
S34 For system 3/7, replace the original wheel bolts with shorter ones. Order
no. for original wheels: S1-1-14-50-30-17 (included in delivery). When

wheel bolts for the wheel. In both cases, Please refer to the «Pro-Spacer»
checklist!
S46 The kit contains additional wheel bolts, which are to be used instead of
the original wheel bolts. With this spacer width, do not secure the wheel
with the original wheel bolts, as these bolts are too long and would touch
the wheel trunk.
