Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Can anyone confirm or otherwise if wheel spacers are legal in QLD please? -
Not legal unless fitted to the car from the factory.
Not likely to cause a problem though unless you want to make a claim on insurance - use at own risk.
Or buy the right wheels.

They are, as Dutch said ILLEGAL and in all States in Australia unless factory fitted as in some Porsches.Originally posted by donweather View Post
'Far better to buy wheels with a different offset to give a safer result that looks the same.
It is worth noting that the link above takes you to a UK site where they MAY be legal.2021 Kamiq LE 110 , Moon White, BV cameras F & B

Maybe so but if they arent on the model you want to fit them to they are illegal as are HID headlights which if fitted must be under 2000 lumens to be able to be used without auto levellers and washersOriginally posted by dylan8 View Post2021 Kamiq LE 110 , Moon White, BV cameras F & B

If they were legal it would solve the snow chains problem.Comment

Buy some wheels with the offset to give you the same aspect then Would be far safer than sticking longer bolts in and then putting chains on to put even more strain on them.Originally posted by Ryeman View Post
We used to have a spare set of cheap rims with snow tyres on for the winter and just changed them over when it snowed.2021 Kamiq LE 110 , Moon White, BV cameras F & B
