Spacers...

Postby Barkshire » Mon Nov 30, 2009 1:43 pm

Right my bro has offered to buy me some spacers for my heap, thing is I've had a look around and there are so many different ones I have no idea what size/ type I need! Wanna space em out nicely but not too much so I don't have to raise it ;) and so it's safe too. I am a dirty noob when it comes to things like this so any advice would be quality :) just wanna give him a link or something so he can buy em ready for Christmas lol

cheers xxx

You could always like... measure how much further out you would like your wheels, then order the spacers to suit that :) But yeah hubcentric ones is what you want and probably some longer bolts depending on how big the spacers are! Whats the offset on your wheels?

Yeah was gonna do that steve but offsets and longer bolts confuse me lol surely longer bolts are dangerous that's why I was looking into the spacers you bolt in and then bolt the wheel on to, like I said no idea lol that's probably thos hucentric ones you guys are on bout haha had a look on venom and it just confused me more...

Longer bolts wil be fine dude, hubcentric spacers are better, they fit directly around the center of the hub, what you find with normal spacers is that they can often cause wheel wobble because they don't fit properly.

Example: On the left hubcentric spacer which has the correct center bore for your hub, and on the right generic spacer which doesn't fit the center bore.

With offsets all you really need to know is, high offset = tuck and low offset = poke :p

the ones you bolt to the car then bolt the wheel on to the spacer are fucking expensive way of knocking your wheels out a few mil though mate
