wheel spacers (a genuine question)

[jimcallear]

what is the max you would go on spacers and who sells them with group a bolts fitted

[Mike Rainbird]

Providing they are proper huncentric ones, there is no limit. Porsche use 50mm ones on some of their cars .

What did you want to achieve?

5mm is safe enuff imo

5mm is safe enuff imo

See comments posted by other people on your original thread why this is NOT the case . Phil, do what YOU want with your car, but PLEASE don't state things as black and white, when this is clearly not the case, especially with something that is a safety issue .

5mm spacers are safe enuff i proved this by that photo, the wheels i have fitted fit correctly not hanging on the threads so i am unsure how you can say otherwise? I know you had wheel wobble issues must have been the type of wheel...none of mine have been an issue.

I put non hubcentrics on mine for about a month and they are now scrapped as they made the car handle like shit (shake a speed and when braking)

this question is a really grey area, i'm surprised no one simply sells hub centric sets only for cossies at different thickness? as its so confusing.

mine are not hub centric ones, they do cause wobble through the wheel which is gay, but i personly believe 5mm ones with long studs are safe, just shit!!!! this is not a fact tho!

if a stud is 10mm and you have 4 of them thats 40mm steel holding the wheel on, plus the fact that the wheel is pushed solid with the spacer creating a massive amount of friction

i personly think the alloy wheel is far more likely to break if you hid a massive pot hole not sheer the studs.

but if someone knows where i can buy 2, 5mm front hub centric spacers and 2 10mm hub centric spacers for the rear of my car also a longer stud kit for the front let know!!

cheers
