wheel spacers
« on: 12 September 2008, 20:09 »
hi there, i've just had my wheels bored out so they now fit on the hub. As the wheels have a very shallow backing plate(?) they sit too far on the hub...ie the wheels are 7.5 wide and they are seriously tucked!!!

Im thinking if i bring them out by around 20 mm it should cure my problem!

now then i know nothing about spacers what type do i need to go for? I have used those crpay universal 5mm jobbies you get from halfords before...hehe they are bloody awful!!!

Do i need hubcentric???

yeah hub cntric sapcers are the best...and make sure you use longer bolts or your wheels could fall off
give venom a call but most sets are around £150
