From your pictures, here are my concerns.

- Front Spacer, it doesn't seems to have enough hub lip left for the wheel to sit properly. I understand that you use the wheel hanger, but your wheel need to sit on the hub lip instead of just relying on the 5 lug bolts to transfer the load of the car to the wheel.
That picture was a mock-up, that being said, I'm gonna have to take the wheel off to know for sure. I'm assuming the divots are there to avoid seizing against the hub and little else.

The wheel hanger was just there to help with alignment, which can be a pain to line up single-handed. It seemed like it had enough lip, but I'll investigate when I take the wheels off.

I was told by a seller who has tried these that the 5mm spacer is not hubcentric and they suggest 15mm front and 20mm rear. Do you think this would be ok.

I can't suggest anything yet until I personally see and install one.
I need to collect data from this car.

Which brand spacers did you buy? Notice any difference in ride and/or handling?

I just got them from eBay.
You have to tell him what size to send you.
Ride and handling is the same so far.

I've used a thin layer just to cover the back of the rim contact with the hub to prevent corrosion, especially in the winter.

I've found that this reduces vibration issues due to the hab not being balanced when it corrodes.

What's the reason for not using it? It's not on bolt threads.

My point above was only to say don't use on the lugs. There are several instructions out there to put on the lugs as well, which is crazy.

I don't think it matters on the hubs or wheel side of the spacer. It's only there to help uninstall later.

Agree - no anti seize on bolts. On the hub you only need a very thin layer to prevent aluminum and steel from corroding.

Hello,
I'm seriously thinking about putting spacers on my g05, they look great!!!
I would like to know from you that you have installed them if you have noticed some changes in the car, for example increased noise, difference in behavior and handling or other things.
Thanks and congratulations, it's a god.
