anyone done this? how thick and did it give them any trouble?

I want some for mine to make it look better but not cause me problems.

I know i will need hub centric ones, anymore advice?

If you go too wide it can cause your bearings to wear quicker due to the change in offset. if you dont go too wide you should be fine Cool

I'm selling some non hubcentric spacers, the trick with these is to make damn sure they're centred as well as possible to stop steering wheel wobble Smile

I managed it on the mk2 I had them on

Try mine on one day then cos it will be like having 20mm spacers on and I bet they won't rub on a GTI due to the wider arches.
