What damage have i caused? Spacers and longer bolts
« on: 24 January 2009, 20:25 »
Bit of a personal blunder, I changed my wheels spacers from 8mm down to 5mm, but completely forgot to cut the bolts down 3mm.  I pulled off and halfway down the road i heard screeching noises from the wheels, thats when i remembered i havn't cut the bolts yet down in conjunction with the spacers.  What damage may i have possibly caused to my car now?

I would check the abs rings first...I have spacers with long bolts and there only a couple of mm off!!
