wheel spacers

[Diamond Hell]

They are the work of the devil and your wheels are more likely to fall off.

Plus that method of centralising your wheel may seem like a work of pure genius, but it'll seem a lot dumber when you don't have the thread bar to fit the wheel up with at the side of a road, in the dark, when it's raining.

If you MUST run spacers then maybe think about fitting wheel studs and bolts, like proper cars run - put spacer on, put wheel on, easy.

They still introduce a world of bodging into your car that is totally unnecessary, with the right fitment wheels.

i am only running them to stop a slight bit of rubbing on the rear tyres to strut because of the 205/50/15 tyres i have , as soon as they are worn out then i will fit 195/50/15 or 205/45/15 but it is just a tempory measure

i doubt my wheels will fall off as 5mm is nothing really and my wheel bolts are long enough ones from a BMW

Just make sure the surfaces are whistle clean - any grit on them (and you now have double the surface area for grit and muck to sit on) will increase the chances of things 'settling' once the wheels have been torqued down.

yeah ok

i allways re torque after a road test any way

ta for the advice

Ive been in that situation but lucky i had spare threads in the boot

ive binned my universal spacers for some hub centric ones now though

[sidecarphil]

that is the ones i really wanted but the thinnest i could find were 25mm and i only wanted max 5mm
