Jim Bowen 1 Posted June 27, 2013 You can buy a little rod with a thread on the end that screws into the hub, i just got one off ebay. Wheel aligner tool or something. Struggled for 7yrs without one and love it now. My brake discs spin on the hub (little screw sheared off) so it always been a pain lining wheels up with the holes.

Critical_Mass 10 Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) If the spacers are the type that are to accomodate various stud patterns then dont bother with them. Look on ebay you can get 3mm 5x100 spacers or 4x100 and the centre hole fits perfectly over the hub. They work a treat. Not expensive. EDIT - just looking on there now. I got some 5x100 3mm spacers for about £15 on ebay. None that cheap now, but there is some for £25. Wouldnt have to worry with wheel wobble or anything.

Critical_Mass 10 Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) do you mean the hubcentric type.ive never used spacers before whats wheel wobble.gettin worried yeah they're hubcentric. Wheel wobble is when the spacer isnt completely central to the hub and cant cause the steering wheel to shake. Can cause wheels to come off as it stresses the bolts, but i think thats just extreme cases. Still, id avoid them. Ive had a set of the 3mm hubcentric ones on the corrado for a for about 2 years and no issues. Worth spending the cash on them. Bin the universal ones.
