Getting a tiny amount of wheel wobble at 50mph+ so need to refit the spacers with a little more care over the weekend. It was getting late when I did them yesterday so rushed them a little :rolleyes:

With the rears my only option is to have the middle bored out making them non-hubcentric, this would also mean the wheel would not be located using the hub or the spacer, in effect it would be guided only by the wheel bolts. I wasn't happy with this so the guy who made them is going to take them back down to 18mm (loosing 6mm) so that even with the spacer fitted the wheel will still locate onto the hub. It means I loose a bit of width from the spacer but I wouldn't be happy running it otherwise :smiley:

Ok, so front wheels are scrubbing on the arches quite a lot :angry:

As i'm not planning on keeping the car for much longer i'm not going to bother with arch work/camber/changing tyres so i'm just going to remove the spacers and sell them :sad:

The rears will still be going on next week though :smiley:
