On the larger ones you can bolt the spacers down then bolt the wheels to the spacers. My only issue with those is I don’t like the idea of a steel insert pressed into aluminium. That’s all that’s holding the wheel on

Wheel spacers are illegal in Australia unless the manufacturer fitted them. So double check if they are legal in your country. Even if they are legal where you live do your research as there are many negatives to wheel spacers.
@TheParrottBros

That is a great point as often in certain countries certain things can be illegal, in England they tend to be pretty relaxed about most things, if you buy aftermarket wheels you can change the office so that no spaces are required to achieve the same outcome

Hey buddy, another superb video! Quick question - what’s the tyre size for the ‘Fat 5s’ for the MK1 TT? 225/45/17 or 225/50/17, or something else? Am leaning towards the 225/50s for a bit more comfort (but will they rub?). Will also add spacers. Car has not been lowered and current alloys are OEM 9 spokes 18”. Thanks so much! 👊🏼
