Optimal - VW Phaeton on ICW Wheels & H&R wheel spacers

Reading time 10 Min.

Recently updated on January 28, 2022 at 11:55 am

This time we have ours AREBOS AR-HE-IW1100 impact wrench slightly modified because we have taken from a commercial nut box a corresponding extension. Everything fits wonderfully and the impact wrench causes no scratches on the rims. He did not get the screws without help.

For the VW Phaeton necessary: before lifting the vehicle Jack mode activate. It is supposed to prevent the standard air suspension from getting mixed up. A small drawback of the H&R DRA discs with 20mm is the very small contact surface for the nut. Especially with the wheel cross you slip quickly and make the screw heads round. Quite different with the 30mm system where the nut sits much better on the screw head.

Are the 30 mm wheel spacers installed, and the rims reapplied, the difference is immediately visible after deflation of the car because now sits and the rear rim fed in the wheel well and the upper edge of the tire closes with the body.

  1. Hello dear tuning blog team,

    thank you very much for this great contribution.
    I have the same rims (black fully polished) and would like to register them.
    Could you provide me with the report as a comparative report for the individual acceptance of these rims on my Phaeton?

    Best regards,
    Marcus

    • Hi Marcus,

      thank you for your nice request. Unfortunately, the car is no longer there... I don't think I can help there.

      • Hi Thomas,
        Thank you for your reply.
        I'm curious if everything works without problems.
        I'm going to have the wheels fitted on both axles with 15mm thru-hulls from RH.

        Small side note for those interested:
        The company ICW no longer exists, but the rims with the designation BE are still sold in the same way by the company XTRA WHEELS.

        Best regards,
        Marcus
