Rear hubcentric wheel spacers don't fit

[tweed]

I must be lucky with mine.

Sounds like a easier option

So do you mean the spacers haven't got a large enough chamfer to sit over the disc chamfer?

[VW BUSH]

You need to chamfer the back of the spacer to allow  the profile of the hub to enter the spacer,this will not weaken the spacer at all as you only need to take approx 5mm out 

+1, I think 5 mm is more than enough

Edit.

Fck me you never squeeze up something like a hub spacer
If it don't fit flat by hand dont stick it on
Non hub centric spacers or HC spacers with poor location spigot into the wheel are full of fail

Im not big on the idea of trying to force it through the front lip either,  at the end of the day the locating lip is there for a reason... Not to be sheared off from over tightening.

The wheel centre to spacer face locate perfectly,  its the disc spigot to the rear of the  spacer that isn't deep enough.  The bore is spot on,  the actual chamfer angle sits correctly.  Its as if the  spacers should have been 20mm thick.

Its like ESS three says. It depends on the disk. Some are longer than others.

I think I'm lucky as my 14mm hubcentric spacer fits just fine.

Like you say, it might be easier to put a 3mm spacer on first.

[thai-wronghorse]

Im thinking maybe 3mm flat spacer first or get some 18/20mm spacers to go on instead and stick the 15mm spacers on the front or like Glen mentions ,  fabricate some stub axle spacers and skip over all these issues.

[tweed]

Wouldn't you have abs sensor problems if you spaced the stub 18/20mm

Saying that if you make the spacers out of aluminium you can relocate the sensor.

[thai-wronghorse]

Surely it wouldn't be affected seeing as the sensor is mounted in the base plate of the stub axle and the spacer would be between the plate and the rear beam mounting points ? Need to source some nice blocks of ally first though.

[tweed]

Yes sorry your right. I recently done my rear shims and thought the sensor was mounted on the beam. God knows why 

Its late I'm going bed
