Title: Spacer setup arrived!
Post by: Scott-R on 08 February 2013, 18:45
Hi folks I was asking about threads and spacers etc a while back well after some serious browsing I think I have the perfect setup! (For me) ha

Would like to add both front and rear spacers are hub centric which seems to protect wheel bearing and with the rear being more than 5mm I also made sure the spacers had a location lip to decrease pressure on the wheel bearings some more! I would say a must for more than 5mm?

On the front I have 5mm spacers and 33mm bolts taking the thread back to standard 27mm!

Pics!

And it the rear I got the daddy 12mm spacers with 38mm bolts again taking me near the 27mm standard thread! Pics ( these are chunky!)

The bolts have same thread showing past the spacers..
