Leosille 17 Report post Posted May 26, 2016 Evening, I've just put my new wheels and tyres on and dodgy Rob forgot to mention that with standard suspension they will rub lol. Has anyone got some spacers I could borrow or purchase that they don't need, I'm in Coulsdon, Surrey. Thanks again Ryan. 1 long-gone reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tareim 343 Report post Posted May 26, 2016 what size spacers are you after? I've got 2x5mm and 2x10mm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikndel 509 Report post Posted May 26, 2016 While we are on the subject if I wanted to space out a set of wheels say by 10mm is there a safe way of doing this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to chime in, I think he just needs 10mm for the fronts temporarily until he can get some aftermarket coilovers! 1 Leosille reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Varelco 211 Report post Posted May 27, 2016 Slip on spacers are ok as long as you have enough available thread. For M12x1.25 studs the minimum is 8 turns. One disadvantage with slip on spacers (primarily thin ones) is they aren't hub centric, which will mean the weight of the car is taken by the studs and not the hub. 1 Ade reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
