^^ I would only point out… And as Steve mentions… the suspension on German engineered cars may not do well when adding spacers. Before buying my Z, I drove Porsche and Audi, and adding spacers to these cars could possibly result in poor handling since it disrupted the very precise suspension design. This was especially true with the rear engine design of the 911 Porsche.
I’m going to wait for the pictures before offering any additional comments.

It's not very hard to install spacers for 1. 2, German cars are notorious for being sensitive to wheel/tire/suspension adjustments. I've had several VW and Audi enthusiasts tell me that spacers were going to reduce ride quality which is why I removed them and cut the lug bolts down.
I had a bad experience with a shop and they are compromising safety on the wheels that they sell. I thought it was deserving of a heads up to people. I guess the rest of you are too shallow to give a **** about anyone but yourselves.

no one was being a dick, you was never clear as to what car this was for so some may have got confused.

I've had great experiences with VQMotoring, when I dealt with them in the past their customer service was great and if any mistakes were made they were fixed promptly. Sorry to hear you had issues with them.

Well I for one will say that since I am in the process of buying a new wheel/tire package that it freaks me out to have to worry about blowing tires because valve stems were installed incorrectly. I don't know anything else about the spacers or wheels not moving issue, but sometimes you need not express yourself with too much anger. If it were an honest mistake by VQ or others, you would look like a fool for posting such harsh comments.

So I'm the ******** for posting a warning? And yeah, I expressed anger. How would you feel if your gf was sold a deathtrap setup? You're not going to be happy about it. On my way to get this fixed and to get pics. Thanks for those who are mature enough to appreciate things.
And I have gotten great customer service pretty much everywhere but VQ. Thanks for the ignorant statement.
Again, so many people on this forum readily attack people like they were there and know everything about the situation.

I think I've sort of takin the criticisim of the forum as like hazing from a frat. Once you get thru it tho they all pretty much respect you. But when you send out comments like this you gotta realize some people aren't going to agree with you regardless what the issue is..dunno why tho

I have seen a valve stem separate from the tire and go flying.
It was on my neighbors wrangler. It WAS installed correctly, but cracked and failed due to a manufacturing defect. The local tire shop replaced all four stems for free! (due to recall)
Prob. not your specific problem but I was just throwing that out there, good luck.

I sincerely hope your problem is quickly fixed, however at fault VQ really is. But understand that the tone of the replies are in response to your own.
