    ok so i need some help i have TA technik coilovers and with the fronts they hit on the inner of my wheels how can i fix this and has any1 else used ta teckniks before...

    Wheels spacers? if so what is the best size for a golf

    Yip, answered your own question, spacers will be the go. Get a wheel on if you can and measure from the outside of the rim to the outside of the arch, thats how much room for spacers you'l have, just take a few mm of so the wheel goes under the arch.

    Pretty sure Tim at Dub Addiction sells em, you'll need longer wheel bolts too

        what specs are your wheels (offset and i see 7.5 for width)
        I have those coilovers in my bora, are they hitting on the strut or the coils/springs?
        I had big problems with the offset of my wheels (ET45) on a 8" wide rim.
        spacers will be the way to go most likely.

            if thats the offset you'll just have to wind them up so the ring is above (or close enough to) the top of the tyre, until you get spacers.
            IMO, spacer size. 15mm will get the rim outside the line of adjustable nut, but tyre bulge can hit... what size tyres have you got? 20mm should make tyres clear even with 225 wide tyres (im guessing thats what you have..)
            Do you have your stock wheels still?

                    speak for yourself, 235s and 265s lol.

                    with et45 on the wheels u can still do 12mm up front and up to 22mm on rear for spacers.
                    What’s behind you doesn’t matter..

                        I meant to say that is generally the stock width
