Title: hubcentric spacers
Post by: sharki786 on 20 September 2014, 12:09: Thinking about sticking some 10mm on front and 5mm on back. Thing is i dont know which to get. Now everyone is saying get hubcentric spacer as they are safer? Ok then will those fit under my bbs rxii's wheels? Also thinking about getting cherry red wheel bolts anyone got any links?

Dont think you can get 10mm hubcentric spacers and definitely not 5mm :grin:

You will still have a lip on the hubs for your wheel to sit on.

Spray your wheel bolts cherry red.

Go on ebay type in 5x100 5mm spacer and then 5x100 10mm spacer.

If you want hubcentric its 15mm and above.

b.t.w I'm sure the post about them failing was adaptors and spacers together! (I know he was on porsche rims)

Post by: boneybradley on 23 September 2014, 19:09: with 215 tyres your going to struggle! I had 12mm spacers on my old gti and had to fit 195's and it still rubbed with people in the back!

Post by: boneybradley on 24 September 2014, 17:36: Have a measure up but with my anni on 215's I would need to trim the inner arch lips to fit any type of spacer!
