GazzaG60 0 Posted April 16, 2004 from what i can gather there are 2 types hubcentric and universal the universal ones are a flat plat with many holes in to fit most vehicle types the hubcentric are for that type of car and basically extent the hub meaning centre is replicated so mounting wheel is easy. universals go upto around 10mm. i use 5mm woith no problems id have to say over that id get proper ones but they can extend into a fair few quid like 60 or so.

Henny 0 Posted April 16, 2004 I'm running 9mm spacers on my front wheels to get 'em to clear the Brembo brake conversion... At the moment I've got universal spacers on which are OK, but I'm gonna get my mate to make up a set which have a spiggot ring built in and are designed to fit onto the hub properly so that I don't have all the hassles with getting the wheel on and so I KNOW that it's balanced up properly and the wheel is sitting properly too... 8) Spacers are OK as long as you take into account that you have to get longer bolts too! ;) Just don't go mad with 'em and you'll be OK... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
