Just wondered if anyone has heard of or seen a mk4 with the standard montreal II's with spacers on? this my be a silly question but i really like the standard wheels on my 1.8t just wish they had a wider stance and was thinking of putting some spacers on, has anyone got any ideas? might be a silly idea but would rather no know, plus would love to see a photo of a mk4 with this done to help make my mind up.

thanks in advance

I run 20mm rear spacers and 5mm on the front on std vw steelies,should give you a nice stance on the monty's.

 i was thinking about doing the same when i get my montys.

can you post a pic please mate, also how much did the spacers cost you and do they come with longer wheel bolts?

Fronts were £45 with longer wheel bolts,the rears were £80 and use the std wheel bolts.

I bet that took you a couple of hours 

Thanks for the comments though.Yours should look pretty good once you've spaced them out.

looks nice that does.. if u decided to use bigger alloys can u still use the same spacers?

Depending on on how wide/offset then yes.

Nice... liking this idea... and loving how yours looks Patch...

Might have to look into a set of these meself... same exact reasons... I like the Monty 2s just wish it sat a bit broader (and lower).

Be ace to see before/after pics of yours Mark if you do do this...

im in the process of putting some 15mm spacers each side of my Montreal II's, got the spacers now just need to source bolts.  Will take some before & after pictures.

Patch; have I read it right, your using standard bolts on the rear even with 20mm spacers?

so here's the results (15mm Eibach spacers on AP coilovers with a approx 40mm drop); before and after shots the first 2, rest are just random

Hi Andy, thinking of doing the same now, you have 15mm on all 4 wheels and have you noticed anything with the handling and also did you your original locking nuts,

just 15's on the back, nothing on the front. Have only just fitted them and not been out since (also still getting used to the AP's so tbh the difference will have to be pretty noticeable for me to say they improve handling).  Went with eight M14x1.5 45mm bolts from PRI Racing and then a couple of longer locking bolts sourced from a mate.

Cheers, i'm yet to decide, havent had chance to stand back and admire but it cant look any worse.  Could defiantly fit 20's in there, I just got 15's cos they were cheap.

Got the spacers off a forum member locally for £30 then the bolts cost £1.55/ea from PRI Racing with £6.00 p&p.

My rear spacers bolt to my hubs and then my wheel is bolted onto the spacer,so yes i am using std lengh wheel bolts.

 Have a look at Golfedd's car, he's running Monty IIs with 20mm spacers on the rear

EDIT: Here's a pic I took of it:

 looks good!cheers for the pic!

aye I'm liking this

 i need rear spacers too does any one know the best place to get some 12mm ones from?

Thanks for all the replies and especially the pics, sorry been away for a bit, i will be def going with 20mm rears and 5mm fronts along with some coilovers, trying to get it all done by Edition38 show in September, I will update some pics as soon as I start work,

Have you bought any yet?
