Title: hubcentric spacers.
Post by: jamie16v on 28 August 2008, 17:46

i need to bring my rear wheels out a fair bit. since i lowered the car the wheels seem to be catching on the lower spring cups (cheap and cheerful jamex kit).
the kit stated 40mm but does seem lower.....
anyway i need to bring the (205/50/r15) wheels out about 7-10mm i think..
anybody know where i can get a decent kit and how much am i looking at roughly?.
cheers, jamie.

Not really mate. Might want to try a local car mod type shop, but they probs will be only 4 stud ones to fit pugs and vauxhals..... Not for us refined VW enthusiasts :P

If you'd pm'd me earlier i could have put you in touch with a guy who machines spacers from clydach for you mate...

dont know whether you use any local dub sites but theres newport edition, so-wal, httuning and sw-cc all with fountains of knowledge and local meets..you missed a massive end of summer meet in porthcawl on sunday.

i have bought some from a motor-save type place before, cheap and probably a bit nasty but they did the job, even halfords do them!

You should pop to the meets mate, its really a good laugh and the lads are great, theres a meet in the old inn in penlagaer too, if you want, theres a SO-WAL meet once a month in newport, and they are an awesome bunch...
