From what I can see from your measurements in the pictures, without rolling your fenders I would recommend a 5mm spacer up front and a 15mm spacer in the rear. You might be able to get away with an 18mm or 20mm in the rear but that's definitely pushing it.

We have all the sizes in stock for Macht Schnell spacers, along with stud conversions if you'd like to get that done as well!

Thank you for your reply. I plan on rolling the front fenders and I'm running H&R coilovers so i can definitely raise the rear a bit in order to fit spacers that will put the wheels flush with the fender.

What length studs are recommended with each size spacers?

I already have studs but i'm just not sure if they are long enough

also keep in mind there is about 3-4 mm of gap from the tip of the ruler to where the measurements start. so add about 3-4 mm to what you see on the ruler

With your fenders rolled, depending on how much it's rolled, you can get a 12-15mm spacer up front. The 75mm studs only take up to a 12mm spacer, so you should get the 90mm studs if you plan on running spacers with your wheels.

This is on my audi with studs that came with my aftermarket wheels. Do i measure the entire length of the stud or just the threaded portion that sticks out from the hub?

The Macht Schnell studs are measured overall from end to end.
