Instructions for Installing Wheel Spacers

Model: Audi A6 MK 3, C6 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Wheel

If you want to give your car a sportier and more aggressive look, installing wheel spacers to widen the track is certainly a good solution. Choose the appropriate spacers for your car by checking the number of holes, the bolt pattern, the diameter of the center hole (which should be as precise as possible to avoid wheel eccentricity), and the correct thickness (generally thicker in the rear and thinner in the front). Along with the spacers, you will also need to purchase longer studs. Lift the vehicle, remove the wheel, clean the hub area of the rim with grease, then insert the spacer before remounting the wheel.

You can extract it by pushing from the inside and disconnect the plugs at the back. This allows you to unscrew the bolts securing the handbrake lever.
