Spacers
« on: 08 June 2013, 16:50 »
I got some new wheels but the dome cover which covers the rear hub nut sticks out to far so the centre cap doesn't fit , so I've ordered 5mm spacers for the rear ,

Do I need to space the front aswell or not its only 5mm ?

You can tap the end of the cap in quite a bit :smiley:

I had that problem, but needed 15mm spacers anyway so had to get the centre of the spacers reemed out.
